Dig Dug.

Holy Geez. I've been digging my tale off. Note the hard, clay-like consistency of the terrain. I went at it with all my 100 lbs. of maniacal fury and a shovel to shape and mend the area. Kinda like large scale grooming. As this was all rotten-handle-shovel-work, I now have the hands of a crab fisherman on the open sea...very Ernest Hemingway...I kinda like it. I also ordered a dumptruck load of wood chips (sorry neighbors for covering your driveway) to build up the beds. The granite sand is arriving today to fill the paths. Again, neighbors, should you decide to use your driveway, it may be occupied for a bit longer...
