landscaping

Spencer and I have undertaken the task of landscaping our back yard. We have got sprinklers in and now we are just to the point that we need to smooth out the ground. This is huge undertaking. I finally talked Spencer into buying me a landscaping rake which helps tons. (He gave in because he finally decided it was okay for me to have the proper tool do the job because he is always buying himself the correct tool to do the job.) The biggest problem is that the soil is so rocky and just plain hard. Oh and than there is the fact that it is extremely salty.
It will be worth all of the work when we finally get it done, but man does it seem like that day is a very long way off.
