Extreme Lawn Makeover

Yesterday, the machines arrived - two giant excavators, a dump truck, a tractor trailer, and a backhoe - all intent on tearing apart our lawn! By the end of the day they had laid water pipes, and the men are telling us that in three weeks we will have town water- no more arsenic water!



While chatting with the workmen, I asked them if they could dig up our stump. They were nice enough to scoop it right out, without even damaging the driveway; and their only request for payment is a batch of chocolate chip cookies!

Needless to say, my entire front yard looks just terrible, but they managed to avoid half of my front garden, my new redbud tree, and my new little smoke bush! Considering the benefits of their work, guess that I can't complain!
