The dirt pile

In January I had about 18 yards of top soil delivered to my home; I needed to level all the holes in the yard from trucks running through it when it was wet. WEll, of course the lawn was snow fillled and wet when the big truck came and he couldn't get through to the back yard so we decided to dump a small amount by the front porch and the rest in the garden. The tracks he made took up a lot of the dirt just to level that part; the part where the dirt was compressed so we had to leave a lot of it there to make it level withthe rest. Of course when he went to dump it, the whole load came loose so 3/4 of it went on the front lawn and about a fourth in the garden. So wheel barrow by wheel barrow my foster son moved the dirt from the front to the back of the house and to the garden and flower beds.

We even used some of it on that city strip I told you about.

Anyway, we celebrated today when he took the last load and raked where the pile had been so the grass showed through and can now green up. OUrs is the earliest and greenest lawn in the area because we put winterizer on it in the late fall and early spring. It needs to be mowed. Any volunteers?
