Busy Saturday...

Peter rented a rototiller for the weekend, and churned up the property... it's looking so much better! We spent the better part of the day (after he rototilled) raking and raking and raking. I think we would have been better off starting a rock quarry on this place! There's more rock here than dirt. After a few hours of sifting through the rock (with hopes of finding some dirt), it started raining. Now, don't get me wrong, I do like the rain, but NOT RIGHT AFTER THE SOIL'S BEEN TILLED! Argh!!! Alas, we continued to rake in the rain. I admit, it was refreshing, but it just weighted down the soil making it heavy to sift through...
Anyway, every muscle in my body hurts, but I'm making the best of it by complaining to any listening ears.
Oh, here's pictures of the progress.
BEFORE:
From the deck downstairs...
First sweep with the rototiller. Don't be fooled, the green is not grass, just weeds!
AFTER:
The water puddle is from the 'tiller getting washed. This will all be grass soon... hopefully!Up top... All the dirt areas in this pic should be grass too...From below, looking up. The "driveway" looking part in the middle will be paved, and on either side of it will be grass.That's all folks. Hope everyone has a nice Sunday...
