Digging up the hard packed clay-ish soil sucked. But as I keep telling my boys when they complain about any task...
"if it was easy, everyone would be good at it"
But then again, most people are good with a shovel. You just step on it and push.
Maybe I need a new saying.

 "Before" - hard-packed soil. Previously covered by brick. |  "After" - one foot dug up, turned, and ready for granularization and soil additives. And yes, I think my use of granularization is stretching the boundaries of English, but Mrs. Sleeper has long since retired teaching high school English and she no longer corrects me. Which is unfortunate as I remember her being an excellent teacher and a good editor. Well, I see her in the editor role today, back then, all I saw (and feared) were the red marks covering my papers. |
