Happy Easter Eve!

The weather is so beautiful today! I decided to do a little bit of yard work...and when I say a little bit - I mean a LITTLE bit. We have a small backyard but it has all kinds of bricks randomly dispersed and half buried - so I began digging them up. I would like to make a brick path from our "gazebo" (don't know what else to call it) to the back porch door. However, as I began digging new holes for the bricks I realized we have a lot of roots in our back yard and I don't know how I am going to dig into all of them. I am exhausted just thinking about it! Any ideas? Other than hiring someone to come and do it - I would love to do that but it isn't in the budget right now.
