work work work, that's all I ever do

Today, since the radar showed rain coming, I got outside as soon as I could, and worked until the rain got too annoying. I got the bricks set in place, and that took over three hours. This was a pain in the ass. I had to dig up some sod, and then put dirt in to place the bricks at the correct height. A couple of times, my slope wasn't right, so I had to take a bunch out and redo them.

Then I went out to get some grass seed. I spread that in the rain. Then I decided that it wasn't raining all that hard, so I shoveled the dirt around to even it out. I just couldn't stand to see it almost done. Then I cleaned up the mess and came in.

I think I'll go and buy a few more bags of soil. I've got a package of peat moss that I'll mix in. And some organic fertilizer made for transplanting. The next time it is dry enough to dig, I'll take some time off work, if necessary, and get the plants in the ground. And mow the lawn. I wish I'd done that on thursday.

Tomorrow, we're going out to my dad and stepmom's. Cyn's attending a bridal shower for my stepsister (she's taking one for the team), while I'm hanging with my dad.

I made this icon to share with you.

You like to play in the dirt.

Yay, dirt players!

You and Robert definitely have that in common. Right now he is trying to deal with such items at the cottage AND here.

Soil... that's the interest to add. *J*

I list "the smell of dirt" in my gardening journal.

Dirt DOES smell good! Or at least some of it does...

I like the smell of fresh cut grass.
