Shit


Yup - 3 cubic yards of turkey shit. T-Bone and I spent the better part of the day shoveling shit, turning shit, and raking shit for our up-to-now empty back flower bed. When we moved in last April, T-Bone put down 9 cubic yards of top soil and the grass in the backyard, with some help from moi, so after that little adventure, we were out of funds and out of steam when it came to preparing and planting the bed. Plus, we had a hard enough time keeping the grass alive in the lovely Texas sun - I can't imagine torturing some poor perennials as well. So, now we're ready for Phase 2 - Shit Duty. Next we'll be taking volunteers for helping us move in to said bed the 900 lb cement bench I bought. It's heavy as shit.
