A bunch of little steps...

That is how we ended our day today at the ranch, umm...property. We stomped down the dirt around the shed that had the rye grass seeds and the Bermuda grass seeds. We are hoping that the roughing up of the dirt and then the spreading and then the stomping would suffice. The dirt was already really moist and also the forecast calls for a LOT more moisture. Thunderstorms to be exact, for the next two days. Maybe we can have some rye grass in the next couple of weeks. I think it takes a week to germinate. Hopefully the Bermuda will hibernate and grow roots, ready for the spring! We will see if the experiment works.

Oh, this is the 100th post to this blog. If you could see me, then you would know I'm doing the 100th post dance. (cheesy, but a milestone in endless blah, blah)

This is only after we spread out the dirt behind the shed, which was higher than the foundation and against the metal wall. I don't understand why the shed installers didn't at least move the dirt a little bit away from the shed. Oh well. That took some work spreading it out and hopefully creating a means for run off, that would go directly to the shed, to go to the back left side of the shed. We "contoured" the land, if that is what you would call it. We also did a massive attack against the left over concrete. We broke up some big pieces and took them in our handy cart (to be seen later) to my brother's property (with permission) to put in an area to help prevent erosion. We did this twice, oh my...a weeks worth of working out for sure! Then, on the round trip back, we picked up pieces of cut up wood on my road. We threw them into the fire pit. Someday, we will have a good start to a big campfire.

After almost three hours of work, we decided it was time to put up the shovel and rake. My next trip will be to help clean up the front of the shed and level it all out. Also, get the huge concrete blob out of the way. Heck, why not leave it and spray paint it. I'll call it concrete art! Nah, my brother could use it more. I'm sure that will happen in the next couple of weeks. I have to get used to all this manual labor.

Thanks for hanging out and hanging on...
