Keith I want you to package up some of your energy and send it to me right away - I'll pay whatever price you ask.
No kidding! I was thinking the same thing Bud.

Yeah, I actually got laid off for two years, spent a year in concrete Quality Control, and another year at a tire shop, but I'm back in the driver's seat.

Yesterday we left you with a big area in the raised beds in need of mucho screened soil to fill it up. I started on that sometime before 7 this morning, and kept going until I had a decent pile in place. That took a few hours.

Hmmm, I see that pic is only about 3/4 done...much more went on after that.
Anyway, a few feet away from the big stump is a small stump, and I wanted to get that area between the two dug out if at all possible.

After I had got the ground just about down to being level, I unearthed this chunk of fir. I didn't have any idea how long this might have been in the ground.

Now I know why that earlier pic only had part of the soil in place. I took the rest from between the two stumps.
Now this time it's there and has been contoured to about what I want to have.

That small indented triangle was bugging me today. For some reason it just didn't look right the way it was. So I dug out some of the ground there and added two pieces of landscape ties to partly close it off.

Then I used the dirt I had dug out of that hole, plus the remaining dirt from the stump area and had more than enough to fill up the new mini-bed.

You might see from the above pic that I will have 5 different levels of plantings to go in. Just a nice gentle slope upwards. Now I just need to put the right plants in the right places.
At the end of the day the space between the stumps was indeed clear, which has provided me with a good place to approach the future moon viewing area.

Last thing done today was add some split face blocks as a mini retaining wall at the south end of the pond. One little frog was being very vocal when I was doing this.
