Nothing makes you feel quite as weak as an excavator; my stressed wrists complain at carrying a watering can. But I got over my inferiority complex pretty quick as I watched Bob Nixon maneuver amongst the stumps pulling out roots 3' deep "Like a tooth!", he piped gleefully. Seven stumps yanked out of the ground and our berm pile gone, we now have a clear path for laying out the deer fence.
We have visions of raised beds with winter greens along the back (south) side of the house. As it turns out, we even have soil back there! Who knew?
Once the fence is up we will upgrade our water collection to take rain water from the studio and extension roofs and collect in a holding tank. Eventually we'll get another couple of cisterns so we can begin our gardening empire. Our Green Acres vision is about to come true.... Never thought we'd see it Zsa Zsa...

Awww, the title of this post made me think that I was going to see rear-view nudity of someone in mid-life. Instead - back hoes!

Well, aren't we all just denuding the island. :-)
