Our big project of late was fixing our leach field. It died on us. There is nothing like sitting out on the deck with raw sewage bubbling up from the septic tank a few feet away. Ah,the fragrance!!
We had to rent a couple of pieces of equipment for the job,and happily,our neighbor Kelly is licensed to do such work. So,even though it rained all day on Saturday,he and Brother B were out there digging away. We had to buy a few truckloads of gravel and sand,plus the french drainage pipes for the job.
This is what the leach field area looks like now.
The front yard after the machines went back and forth in the rain:
The corner. the gravel and sand were in our driveway,and this was the only way to get to it. Looks like some loam and reseeding will be in our future!
Even though the yard got tore up,it's A-OK. It needed to be done. Of course,if the weather was cooperative,it wouldn't have been so bad.
There are some great signs of spring:
The green beans are coming up:
The broilers are getting big:
The leaves are out!
The strawberries are flowering:
The lilacs are in bloom and their fragrance flows on the breeze:
We have a little bird's nest on the rafter of our wood shelter. The bird flew away just as I was taking the picture!
Have a fabulous day on this Fabulous Planet!
