We were just hanging out in the backyard when Eliza suggested we go move the mailbox - like it's just that easy- well, we can go dig a few test holes, I thought, the ground is really tough right there.
And it was for the first 6 inches, then we got to a massive rock that almost beat us. But once we got it out the dirt was rocky, but soft. I/we dug almost 2 ft down. When we decided it was deep enough she said "okay mom, go get the mailbox" - like it's just that easy - so I walked across the street and pulled and tugged and moved it around like a loose tooth, and it came out.
So I walked it over and put it in the hole (which turned out to be way too deep) and she filled it in about halfway with her blue plastic shovel. I finished it and we placed stones around the base in an attempt to be decorative.
And now it's done and hey, sometimes it is just that easy.
