Memorial Day Weekend

I had one goal for Memorial Day Weekend. I wanted to finish a project I started last summer...Leveling the back yard. At all started when we saw some free dirt on craigslist. Since our back yard was really bumpy, and hard to walk on, we decided to go and pick it up. So we loaded the "free" dirt into our truck and took it home. The next day, Raj woke up with horrible pain in his SI Joint. So our "free dirt" turned into multiple trips to the Chiropracter! Now that Raj was unavailble to help unload the truck. I spent the summer loading it into wheel barrows, and bringing it into the backyard, which meant I had to go through the garage, up three steps, and then dump it in the yard. Let me say it wasn't easy. I probably put on 20 wheel barrows full of dirt. I tried to level it, but soon it became fall, and then winter and so it sat. Then spring came, and so did the weeds! We had a jungle out there! So, I borrowed my parent's tiller, and Raj and I went to work on it. I took some pictures of the process. Hopefully the grass will grow!
