Mission Accomplished

Who says Americans won't do jobs that Mexicans will? Call me foolish, but this old American performed a whole bunch of manual labor without Manuel's help...or Jose's either.

It took the better part of six days, but I hauled and spread sixteen yards of topsoil, then put down seven pallets of St. Augustine sod and covered the area around the trees and shrubs with pine bark mulch. The front yard is now complete and looks a whole lot better than the red clay/iron ore/sandstone mixture that covered this hill when we built the house.

Now I have some flower beds to dig and flowers to plant, but most of the heavy work is done...I think.

Speaking of Mexicans and jobs.....
