It’s a DIRTY job, but…

April 26, 2009 by pictureperfectcooking

“Ask, and ye shall receive.”  C & I plan on finishing up some overdue landscaping projects in the front yard this spring.  We were low on topsoil and my father in law had planned on bringing some from another farm a few miles away.  Yesterday, as he & C were mowing the yards, our friendly neighborhood dump truck driver drove by with a load of DIRT!!!  He flagged him down and asked if he would sell us some.  It turns out that he was moving the dirt for one of our neighbor’s farm who had dug a pond about 5 years ago.  His plan was to move the dirt down to his place and then sell it.  We cut out the “middle-man” by having him drop 3 loads here at our house, so now we have lots of dirt!!!

We would have probably started working with it yesterday, but we had a wedding shower to attend.  C’s step-cousin is getting married in June, and he and his fiancé’s shower was last night.  We took a fruit platter and a gift of course.  Big fun was had by all, and the happy couple ended up with lots of good gifts.
