Well it has been a busy weekend, Spemt Friday running the array of Mitey Earth Moving Equipment my daughter had rented. I was able to use the Bobcat to excavate most of the flower boxes and also was able to use it to get the 17 yards of dirt into the flower boxes.

Saturday was spent getting the equipment back, picking up the parts for the new fence and beginning to get the fence installed. Then after dinner Sat night Mrs alfa 6 and I are watching the tube when about 8:30 she asks me, "Are those the tornado siren going off?" Quick change the channel and yep them are the tornadee sirens. Fortunately for us the storm went well the wqest and north of us. From what we've heard they weren't as bad as the ones that rolled through about a month ago.

Being Easter Sunday we took the morning off and finsihed getting the fence installed this afternoon.

Here is a pic of the Flower boxes with the 17 yards of dirt in the background.

A picture of the Mitey Earth Moving Equipment, that tiller was no fun in the flower boxes!!! Did I mention that we had to salvage the old fence as well :-)

Here I am getting the Bobcat on the trailer Saturday morning so we can get it back to the rental yard.

I took a couple of pics of the completed work but they did not work out, I will try to get a pic or two in the next day or so.

Regards

I swear, you make me tired just looking at all your pictures of the never ending projects you do. The raised beds look great.

Our new yard being wooded has been overrun by high grass, weeds and unidentifiable ground cover.

As you know we have no yard tools so we've just been watching it grow the past few weeks. We did go out and buy a thatch rake to at least get started pulling out some of the junk in the wooded backyard. It's been in the upper 80's and just a little work wore me out!

The truck will finally arrive in about a half hour. I told him he could recognize our house by being the one with the grass knee high!

Luckily it is cooling down to the 70's the next few days so we should get lots of yard work done and finally look like civilized folks!
