    You have a busy July planned! I have a very large laundry room/studio. My July plan is to get it totally organized, which I successfully put off doing in June.

    Sounds like a good and productive list for July. I didn't make a list, but have several things in mind I would like to accomplish in July. I have auto insurance due at the end of the month, which will be my biggest bill this month. I hope you meet all of your goals this month, Marybeth and that you have a great weekend.

Dirt

At 7 am Saturday morning a truck came and dropped of 8 yards of topsoil. Then Hubby, the kids and I got to work. It was a beautiful day out, sunny and 60 degrees. Perfect for hard labor. We have a wheel barrel and a garden wagon that can dump. 4 shovels in hand and off we went.  We had several trees taken down a few years ago. Then 2 years ago we had the driveway done. Last year we had the siding on the house done. Time to fix the lawn. We have lots of dips in the front and back yard from all of the work. I am a little clumsy and have fallen several times in them. We were able to level out the front yard and fill in the holes in the back yard. The back yard has a large hill so it will never be level but it is more of a gentle slope now. Some places didn't get dirt because they didn't need it.  We ordered pizza since I was too tired to cook. After dinner Hubby spread grass seed everywhere. Today it is raining lightly.  It was hard work but we got it done and h
