On November 1st, I had a landscaping supply company deliver 13 yards of dirt in the form of two types: 6.5 yards of mulch, and 6.5 yards of Dillo Dirt mix.

I’m not going to write every detail about how I went and hired three guys to come help me get it spread out over the whole yard, because that was just lots of work, but, before I went to get the guys, Jack and I started working on the first pile of dirt, and I’ve got to say that Jack is one hard worker:

1. Using his shovel to get some dirt:

2. Loading his wheelbarrow:

3. Picking up his wheelbarrow while I picked up mine:

4. Leading Daddy into the backyard:

We each made five or six loads before the other pile of dirt showed up, and as soon as it did, I was off to Home Depot to hire some help.
