3. June 4

More digging. Our back yard is nowhere what it used to look like. What was my beautiful perennial garden is buried under about 3 feet of dirt.





In the afternoon we went to the builder to try to finalize the plans. We got a lot done but still need to work on the kitchen. We have an appointment with a kitchen designer for Monday morning. We think we've decided on a siding color - cypress green - it's a soft medium green.
I like the tan/beige but I swear every house I see has that color now and we want something different.

The weather forcast is for lots of rain and our land has a lot of clay which doesn't drain well so early this morning Larry showed up with a drain pipe. He had to dig a deep path for the pipe.
We came back in the afternoon to find the cellar hole about 1/2 done. But what a lot of dirt had to be moved!! It's all in the back yard so far. (By the way Janet, we forgot about my garden by the blueberries. Doug went our early in the morning and got most of it out so don't worry.)

Doug pushed me out back so I could see what it looked like. The 3' high stone wall is being buried.
Notice how high the dirt is over the rhubarb.

Today we woke up to pouring rain so no work is done today.
