the new garden

We decided to make a new garden, so Tom came over and pealed the sod off for us with his excavator. I'm standing on the veranda of the house.

This is "before".....This is "after".....Xena is watching with me, but is just itching to be out there "helping". In the video on Art's blog she enters stage right after I finally let her go.Tom did all the digging, but while he was on a break Art gave it a whirl.When I was working at the dump, Tom offered to teach me to work that machine, but I was too chicken.
