Now for my aching back....see that mound. There's a dump truck load of topsoil under all that snow.

It was such a beautiful day....
...I started to shovel.
I had helpers.
More help.
Even more help.
Two hours later...yes, two hours!...I uncovered the dirt.
My honey set up a sheet of plywood, a tarp and the space heater.
Then he and the Wee People built a fire because it's one of mom's favorite things.
I love sitting by a campfire.
It's another helper.
I sat by the fire and watched the sun go down.
Later, I went out and scraped off the top layer. Now I can plant my seeds!
Aren't they cute?
