There has been a plethora of activity on Stauffer Avenue. Dennis ran an errand to Fleet and Farm to get several bags of lime to put around our evergreen tree. This should neutralize the acidity in the soil that the tree gives out. That is on our plate for Monday.
I had the electric tiller going and thought I was in high cotton. I was working under the Lilacs and getting soil worked up that had not been moved around for a long time. It was time to get some tilth in the soil. I love my little tiller. 18 lbs is just the right amount for me to handle. That project was going to be the “It” for the day.
That was until Kevin and Kersten drove up with their diesel Ford tractor with an amazing tiller behind it about 1 o’clock. It was a trailer full. The mighty blue tractor sure did a great job on an area that may have been 25′ x 30′. By the time Kersten had helped me with some computer files, the boys . . . Dennis and Kevin, were loading the tractor and tiller.
By four, us four were sitting down to share a meal. The day was great. Of course, it had to rain about that time. Nothing serious but dang, that was suppose to be the forecast for later on this week. If the weather cooperates, Dennis and I will be doing the grass mousse tomorrow. It should be interesting. Dennis commented when the city puts down grass seed with a water hose, they really don’t care what shape or how hard packed the soil is. The soil that Kevin worked up looked like a sea of finally sifted soil. As I said . . . just a great day.
