A Really Big Gopher

Something happened while I was at work today...
I bet I could compete with these babies both in size and weight.

Hooters and White Crusty Stuff

Ok they really aren't hooters, they are rocks but we call the hooters and we have a lot of big 'uns.
Rick found all of these in one day. If anyone needs some rocks for their landscaping, you are welcome to come and get some. They breed every time it rains.

The other lovely thing we have out here...calcium/salt in the soil. Oh heck we don't have soil, we have dirt. The first time we saw the crust of whiteness we weren't sure if it was frost.

Alas, it is not. It is salt build up We are going to have to add a lot of acid to help bring down the pH before we can really grow anything other than grass.

(We are bringing in top soil first)

Workin' on the Patio

We decided to buy cement pavers and create our own back patio. In just a few hours, Rick doubled the size of what was existing.

Someday we will pour cement and put on a cover but until then I have my big stud putting in a patio for me.

When I came home from work tonight there was another row added.
