just dirt

After I loaded the kiln this morning and started firing, I went to go pick up some dirt for the vegetable garden.
His truck finally comes in handy!   

I bought a full truck load of dirt.  I figure it should be enough for my two beds.    I had to transfer it to the backyard using a shovel and wheelbarrow - no need for the gym today!  Of course, my pollen allergy was in full swing so between each shovel full I had to sneeze and blow my nose.  Good times.

This one is tired just from watching me work.  We all know she didn't do a damn thing to help.

Poppy is really just helping me out with proportion.  Don't worry, I gave her a treat for being a good sport.

Off to the porch for my reward:  a beer and a new magazine.
