Building Our New Home

September 7 - The dirt trek

We found out by accident that two of our friends were in the process of removing garden beds and yard from the back yard of their townhouse and putting in a patio. And they had a LOT of excess 'good' dirt they needed to get rid of. Since we have a bunch of things to plant (and beds to build), preferably BEFORE winter comes and kills my Japanese maple and two Rheingolds in their pots, it was a match made in heaven!! we borrowed my brother's muscles and my parents van, and took a trip to our friends' place and loaded up the van and my Rav with as many garbage bags of dirt as they could carry. And we are hoping to go back next Sunday for more. Now I just need to get the dirt out of the garage and actually into the garden- then more pictures will be forthcoming.. :)
