I had no idea what six cubic yards of top soil looked like, but I do now. A mountain of black dirt features prominently in the driveway. Dark and menacing it waits patiently to be deposited over the back garden, levelling the ground waiting for the rolls of turf to finish the job.
First I had to cover the area at the front with enough of the black stuff so we could spread the contents of all the packets of wild flowers seeds that we had accumulated.
There is nothing technical about spreading tiny seeds that are nothing more then specs of dust, but not knowing how few, or if any will germinate is frustrating.
Kelli finished painting the transformed Red Devil whilst I started moving dirt into the back garden.
With all this activity we still found time to pick up some free furniture, we can never pass that up.
During the evening Kelli showed me a picture of a mid century style piece on her phone, I thought it looked pleasant, but I also noticed it had “Sold” on the page.
“So you bought it then” I said smiling, “Mmm” she replied. So I guess we have another pick up tomorrow.
Oh the big new is I got my green card in the post, fantastic, I’m no longer an non-resident alien, just an alien.
It’s been a long two years waiting, and then Flash, Bang! It’s all over, now I don’t feel trapped anymore.
