There’s still snow everywhere, but the first of the so-called crocus are out! It really is spring! #spring #Bloomscrolling #springflowers #Saskatchewan

Highlight of the day: listening to and watching an eagle-couple chatter and soar above the house!

The day is done. Made a reasonable dent in the mountain. Raised the level of about half of the driveway. Tomorrow I will measure the fabric for the car tracks and put down another 2 loads of dirt to bring it to the edge of the tracks.
Then we'll need to wait until a weekday when I am home to go get sand, gravel, and top soil.
Maybe Ill go to the stone shop next week and grab the flagstones for the path.
Lots to do!
Then we will move to the backyard again and start on plumbing for the poolpond!

Excited for the additions! Bought an Italian plum to replace the old and dying Italian plum on our neighbour’s side. And bought another Northern Spy to plant in the front in place of an aged hydrangea.
This will complete the complement of 3 apple trees in the front yard! Yay! (2 northern spy semi dwarf, 1 blushing delight columnar visible in the previous post beside the little dump truck) and start the fruit tree complement in the back to go with the well established hazelnut tree. I want at least 2 more fruit trees in the back. Possibly four.

Morning shift of #OperationMoveDirtMountain is complete. Good progress was made. The new level in the front driveway was marked and is being extended.
This is essentially just horrible and sticky clay but it will have to do as a base to bring the front driveway up to a better height sloping less toward the house and in general.
The two gravel tracks for the car will be kept and deepened/solidified while a number of flat stones will provide walking paths from each side of the car to the sidewalk or backyard.
This is part of the #poolpond campaign
There was a dusting of snow in some parts of #CT this morning. A girlfriend sent me this. . Not her yard, but still so sweet. #bloomscrolling #spring

Hidden behind a pile of snow, doing their little thing... I'm such an unbeliever
