Things under the ivy

As you all may be aware, I've embarked on a project to clear out my backyard. There is (was) thick ivy all over the backyard, rendering the space useless and serving as a breeding ground for mosquitoes. I forgot to take a before picture, but this first one is the other side of the yard (still untouched). The side I cleared had 5 random shrubs that I took out. The second and third are the cleared photos, albeit still with a huge pile of waste. The last one are some of the things found deep in the ivy. The owners BEFORE the owners we bought the house from had a dog. I also uncovered two stumps that need to come out. I'm wondering what else lies beneath. With over half the backyard to go, I'm hoping not to find any body parts.









The items from left to right: Caution tape, fuzzy die, part of a rubber kickball, an odd squeeze toy.

nice archeology

maybe it's a civil war era fuzzy die?

And I thought shoveling mulch for a weekend sucked.
