On Memorial Day I used my wicked wiles to get Bruce, Michael and Jason to dig out the weeds and till the garden. Not only that, but they started digging up some sod to make a space for me to put in a second garden that I've been wanting. Yea!By the end of the day (Memorial Day) the guys were pretty wiped out, so my second garden wasn't quite as big as I wanted; but I was pretty happy, they had worked hard all day, and I wasn't going to press it.
Instead I thought I'd work on it myself. After an hour and a half, a few days later, I had moved about 2 square feet of sod. That was it for me. So that afternoon I bribed Jason ($$) to finish it up.But now the second garden needs to be filled in with more dirt. Well, at the water-treatment place you can get some nice stuff to use in your garden, so yesterday Bruce, Michael and Jason borrowed a trailer and got some. Yea! They got home with a big trailer of garden-filler, and started to pull it into the back yard. And then there was a problem.
This is perplexing.
See, we hadn't considered the fact that it had been raining pretty much all week, and our ground 
was very soft and wet. So Bruce got the van up through the front yard pretty well, but when it got to the side, where he intended to drive through to the back yard . . . well, bad things happened. The van got stuck on some bumpy curbing that used to be the edging for a little flower bed (put in by the previous owners, but the the flowers are 
long gone). And when Bruce tried to get past that the tires just spun out and dug big old holes in the ground. So now the van was sitting in four mud-holes, in the rain. We tried everything we could think of yesterday to get it out, but there it sits. :-(
Well, today the sun is shining, the skies are clear and they're working at it again. Can they get the van out? Or will it sit in our side yard forever more, while a trailer full of dirt sits on my front lawn?

This actually doesn't look so bad, unless
you consider it as a permanent thing.

Tune in later . . .
