You Load 16 Tons...

Spring has arrived in Texas!  When this happens, I only have one focus:  My garden!  If someone says to me, "I hear you love to sew!"  I'm likely to say, "I have no idea what you're talking about; I love to garden!

Yesterday we had 16 tons of dirt brought in!  You heard me ~ 16 tons!  It was our own Ffynnon Garw (see The Englisman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain).  This was our hill, but I assure you it feels like we moved a mountain!

Long story, short:  last year's drought killed our side yard grass ~ we thought we were sooooo smart - we're not going to replant grass, we'll just dig up the entire side yard and put in a path and flower beds!

Only 1 more ton to move!  We are out of the picture lying dead somewhere in the yard! 

 This is the point where we asked ourselves, "What were we thinking?"

Now going to scrape the dirt from under my nails...

New pictures as the bed progresses.........
