07/15/2007: "Newest project..."

As you can see- there are weeds and the slope goes right into the back and not around the barn so during lots of rain- the barn sometimes floods and the back is showing rust. So...what is a women to do! I say scoop it out of there. Since the rocks were very heavy and it need some major dirt removal (two dump truck loads), it was best to hire it out. Then they can smooth it out, save the dirt to fill in where the sewers were put in and settled. Kelsie- where are you- I have some dirt to play in! Then we put in a drain pipe (you can see it over by Linda) and covered it with gravel. Now we just have to add plants (we are going to put in another tree and fill the hill side with tall grasses and then mulch it so we don't have to mow. We will add another diablo on the side and plant grass in the fall in the back yard.Home ownership- ain't it fun!

It is really dry here now so smoothing out the dirt (or clay) is hard to do and planting now won't work so our yard is a dirt patch for awhile. Fall we will put in a new tree and plants and new grass seed. We will try to kill the weeds now so when we plant we can seed the whole yard. We might actually make a lawn here after all.
