Tractor Boy Work

Linda went to work at the school today, so it was Stacey and I left to clean up the dirt and grass piled in the new flower bed. We loaded it in the scoop of the tractor and I dumped it in the gully. We had to go to town to take a 'Secret Pal' gift to the Extension Office and we also checked out the video shack to see if there were any new videos we wanted to rent. We pulled the HHR back in the garage and went inside right before the rain started. It poured for about twenty minutes and the rain was over. Within a half hour the sun was back out and I was too. I drove the tractor to the hay shed and stretched an electrical wire between the little house and the hay shed. I dug a small hole underneath the wall near the corner of the hay shed and stuck the wire through. I tied the other end to the porch post leaving enough to hook up later. I went inside the hay shed and pulled the extra wire inside the shed. Then I used the scoop on the tractor to open a trench along the wire laying on the ground. I was removing dirt about 4 inches deep and 6 inches wide and flipping it over. I then pushed the wire into the trench and covered parts of it with dirt to hold it in place. I used a shovel to flip the grass portions back into place and used the scoop on the tractor to mash it down almost level with the rest of the yard. I used the scoop to scrape the loose dirt over the wire where we had tore down the old wood shed and then I drug the scoop across the dirt to level the dirt. I drove the tractor to the creek and pulled some of the scrub trees into the middle of the creek so the next big creek will wash them away. I had dug them out of the creek bank a few weeks ago, but they had too much dirt around the roots then to move. The flowing creek water had washed away quite a bit of the dirt and they were a bunch easier to move.
