At the corner of the lawn stands a flower garden. I'm not one who cares much for flower gardens. They look pretty but constantly weeding something that really has no real practical purpose other than beatification, just doesn't become a priority here. For example, this flower garden is sporting a dandelion 'bush' that is as tall as I am.
So...I took out Eric's little evergreen that he got in kindergarten and replanted it elsewhere. Dan got on the tractor and ran his bucket over the garden--taking about 1/2 foot of the soil with him.
He dug a little more until he got to the clay.
We have a huge pile of sand in the back. It was here when we moved here. Dan took a few bucketfulls of sand from behind the barn and filled the hole.
Level out the sand a bit and you have a new sandbox for the kids.
And Lincoln has somewhere to dig that does not involve my vegetable garden.
The kids have been playing there all afternoon. In fact, it's after supper and 2 boys are in there again. Every kid needs a sandbox. I'm going to start garage saling to look for some second hand Tonka trucks.
