A Few Silver Family Icons have passed

Today is the day that I have been waiting for for almost 3 years. Finally....Finally! The 25 year old rusted basketball goal was pulled down by my faithful brother and his Bobcat. It has gone to a better place: The Scrap Metal Pile. This pile serves as place for all pieces of old metal to go to be cut up and then hauled to the person who will pay us for it by the pound. It's better this way.

This is also the day that the Peacock Coop & the Guinea Fowl coop were torn down and put into the dumpster. They have well served their purpose as storage for things that my dad didn't want to deal with and before that, they served well in their intended purpose. Considering that there hasn't been a Pea or Guinea Hen near them in 12 years, it was time to let them go.

Soon, very soon, the rest of the fencing and the grapevine that has overtaken everything will also have passed into the great beyond.

Anyone have a dump truck they would let me borrow for a few days?
