Big Pile of Dirt

Doctor started the landscaping around our yard this last spring with Dude's help. He placed an order for a truck load of topsoil in April in order to finish the flower beds. Due to an abnormal amount of rain the topsoil was too wet to deliver. Doctor persisted, though, and tried all summer to get the needed topsoil. His attempts were unsuccessful until the owners of the company came into his office this last week. Amazing enough we got topsoil right away. :) We filled the flower beds and raked quite a bit into the yard. I didn't have the foresight to take a picture of the dirt before we started shoveling, but here's what it looked like after half a days work. The original pile was at least twice this size.

This is what it looked like when we stopped Saturday night. It was quite the job!

Here's the landscaping. Oh, and he made the trellis for the clematis, also. Again, isn't Doctor amazing?
