Grass in the back yard!

OK, so there is no grass there yet. But the grass seed has been sown. This last weekend Kristen and I made 4 trips in the truck to pickup compost to spread over the back yard prior to sowing the grass. Every time we do this it is a time consuming process to get it down to the yard. First the truck is parked at the top of the patio and the compost is unloaded into the wheelbarrow. This is wheeled only about 20 feet to the patio where it is dumped. From there we use a chute to transfer the soil from the patio to the wheelbarrow down below. Here is a picture of the chute.

Once the wheel barrow is full it was moved to a spot on the yard and dumped. This resulted in quite a spotted effect.

And once it has been spread out and seeded with grass.

And of course our little helper Samuel was there.
