J has been having a bit of fun with the new (to us) scraper. We are going to have some new bins put up so he has been leveling the sites. He has also been doing some road work. He worked at the creek crossing and will do more of that when we get a culvert put in there. We are a bit afraid that he's having too much fun and that we may have created a dirt-moving monster. Yesterday he was working in our yard and asked if he could take the dirt pile that was in front of our house. I answered with a hearty "yes"! That dirt pile is from when we dug the basement for our new house, almost 17 years ago now, and I've wanted it gone ever since. Finally! Good things come to those who wait....and wait....and wait.

The only bad thing is that it will be a weed patch for awhile until the grass grows in. M says I should plant some trees there for a shady retreat. I'm just happy that pile of dirt is finally gone!
If it was Bill and I we'd have a pond dug and put in flagstone, plants, etc... good thing I live far away I guess.
