Cousin Deb visited us after work today, "loaded for bear", which in her case means "with landscaping tools in the trunk!" She checked our soil out in the backyard where we're planning to do some more landscaping with plants and mulch, and both she and we were pleasantly surprised to find that there's a decent layer of decent soil out there.
We laid out a garden hose to map out the edge where we plan to start digging up the sod, and then used her tools to cut an outline in the grass, as shown in this picture. For a moment I thought about cutting some other really interesting patterns in the backyard, then filing an iReport with CNN to break the news about the new alien crop circles taking over the backyards of unsuspecting Iowans, but I decided that would be too much work and just stuck with our original plan.
I think our original plan will be work enough. Thanks to Deb for her tools and motivation!
