Well, on the one day that we DIDN'T want rain, it rained!
T was just about to get through grading the old pool area when it started. By the time it stopped raining, that area was too wet to work in. We gave it a couple of hours and went grocery shopping, but it was still too wet when we got back. So instead he worked the rough places in the yard and spread the dirt that came from the pool area around the play place.
All in all we probably got 95% of what we wanted/needed done, finished. There is just a little bit on one end of the pool area that needed a bit more dirt moved. The pool people will take care of that as it is where the pool will go. The other stuff was what we wanted done so that the backyard looks a little nicer and not so many humps and bumps.
Gotta go buy grass seed! There wasn't any real grass on most of this part of the yard. The dirt we dug out from around the pool is good dirt and should grow some grass, unlike the the hard as a rock clay that was there before. It'll be nice not to have to mow across the dustbowl anymore!
Yesterday's trip to the lake did include a dip in the lake for the kids. I didn't take my suit because I was afraid the water would still be to cold and because I was going to work not play. Dad has really been working to hard trying to get moved into the new trailer without air conditioning. He was worn out, so I sent him with the kids after a while and I finished the bit of carpet that still needed cleaning. The kids did their part by scrubbing the bathrooms. Then we had to leave in time to make it home for karate and Dad worked another 3-4 hours!
Stubborn man! He wanted to get finished to he could move the furninture in from the old trailer. He got a helper and did that today, so he should be all fixed up now.
I'm very tired now and think that my bed is looking awfullly inviting! It is thundering just enough to make it good sleeping weather....
