My butt hurts!

Dang. This home ownership thing is a bitch! Endless ideas create endless projects.

My latest inspiration has taken a few weeks already. I started ripping out some unruly bushes a couple of weekends ago. Idea? Fill the emptiness with top soil and create a sloping, wave effect of fabulous flowers and drama. Well now, I've never ordered topsoil before, so I guessed at the amount I would need. BUZZ. WRONG! I ordered way too much. I spent all morning raking and shoveling that shit into place, patting it down, and repeating the process. I was sweating my ass off, and spending hours bent over is hard on the butt and back! I'm really not sure how this great idea of mine is going to turn out now either, which totally bums me out. I think I have the general shape of the design in place, but we'll see.

I have so much dirt left that I'm trying to freecycle it and get if off my grass so it doesnt die!

Here are pics of my work in progress.
