Dancing Rototiller

This is what happens when you try to have a nice lawn in our neighborhood. The rototiller "dances" over all the rocks. Notice the assortment of rocks behind Darrin. These were tossed out as we dug. There were twice as many when we were all finished. Maybe we will put in a cobblestone path?! I have been coaxing a lawn in our back yard for 3 years now. Darrin says I'm the only person he has ever seen lying in the grass picking weeds one blade at a time. I have to say it is beginning to pay off. In our land of brown and dry, we have a little oasis of green. Hopefully, this new patch will be easier to grow. We have put a bird feeder at the far end of our back yard hoping the birds will flock there and leave our growing things alone. They go through a full feeder a day. It sure is expensive to be like our ancestors and live off the land. Seems a bit ironic. Ta Ta
