The Garden Party

It's about time

13 years ago

My backyard is a mess and I feel great!

There is a big backhoe sitting right smack dab in the middle

of Georgia red clay.

We are finally getting that French drain we need, a privacy

fence and a backyard that is bird and butterfly friendly.

I hope it turns out the way I picture it.

All Best wishes to you ! Maybe you can give the backhoe operator some sweets(lemonade, chocolate, pepsi) of some sort to keep him on the job and working! We will need pictures.
