Memorial Day Weekend

I've been doing a lot of reading in the natural history/ history of science and history of natural science illustration. (See dotwebb.wordpress.com/ ).

We opened the ditch and after making a rice paddy out of the garden with our spanking new run of 3" drain pipe, promptly flooded the rest of the back yard. (Oops.) grin. I strapped on my Crocodile Dundee 6" Italian weeding knife-slash-trowel. For three days, over Memorial Day weekend, Gloria & I did battle with her third of an acre of clay.

78 assorted paving stones.
Almost got the swamp cooler going.

Solar Pump for a fountain. Birds. The melon saved in another place.
