Much of May


May was a blur around the house.  The kids helped me unload a truckload of rock and did some beautiful landscaping around the house.  We built the above raised bed for our strawberry plants (the cage is to deter the bunnies and birds), one twice as large for various veggies and moved a dumptruck load of tree mulch around the property.  We're trying a Back to Eden style project on our old garden bed since the soil is such terrible clay.  As you can see below, the weather interrupted some of that as we received around 10 inches of rain in a week's time.  The neighbors newly planted corn gave us a whole new layer of topsoil, wanted or not, and our footbridge washed 30 feet downstream.  Not to mention a flooded basement through the window well and a tree toppled due to soggy ground.  What a doozy!



If life gives you flooding, go play in the mud....
