New Flower Bed

We skipped breakfast and about 9:30 I went out to begin mowing. I mowed the slope in front of the house and the front yard too. Linda mowed around the house and the barn lot and I mowed the ditch between the little house and the barn. We both mowed until it was lunch time. We ate and I went back out and mowed the little house yard, then started the oldest tractor and bush hogged the trails around the hay fields.
     
Later, we began working on a new bed for the flowers that Kim and Kenny brought us from IN. I started by using the tiller to bust the grass and dirt loose. I went around the trees we had planted there two years ago. Then connected the circles around the trees with straight lines into a triangle shape. After going over the ground three times with the tiller, Linda and I began raking the loose grass into the scoop on the tractor. I then took the grass and dirt with the tractor and filled in a gully caused by water draining away from the house. I moved two scoops of grass and dirt that way and after that the beds were fairly clean of grass. Stacey came out and loaded pavers in the Mule and we drove it down the driveway to the flower bed. Linda and Stacey handed the pavers to me as I laid them to form the curves outside of the tilled dirt. We quit for the evening as we were all tired and then we took a ride out near the lake in the HHR.
