Whoever said "God made dirt and dirt don't hurt" didn't shovel it for a few hours then try to rake it level.

perhaps it's my industrious chinese half but more than likely it's my "i'm living here for a month and eating your food for free" guilt that got me out once again amongst the shovels and rakes. However, i can't lie and say that I followed through till it was all finished--the pool slide was calling and as soon as my head hit the turtle floaty toy, i was out for the count. But, when there is grass there and you are enjoying how wonderful that spot is and how you're legs aren't higher than your head--remember to think of me and my hard few hours of work and allow yourself a smile (or smirk). Then thank mama jane and papa kerry for leveling and actually getting the true work done.
