Last week we had 14 yards of topsoil dumped over our newly built retaining wall. Let me tell you, that is a lot of dirt for a 1/6 acre lot! The kids were in dirt heaven, playing until dark every day. Somehow the dirt keeps trailing into the street as all the neighbor kids also come to play.
Day by day, we're moving a little dirt at a time - spreading it in garden areas, and prepping the front yard for new sod. The kids actually like helping with this job, though I've yet to see them move much dirt where it's supposed to go.
Famous quote of the old fashioned family work day... "Some day this will all be a happy memory. For now, just shut up and work...!"
"Hey Mei Mei, say 'NO' to crack!"
