This is what the side of my property looked like before:
We had a huge windstorm last October and lost tons of trees in that section of the yard. We lost over 200 trees on the property in that storm. We cut up whatever was useable--we heat with a woodstove.
Then this showed up in the yard a couple days ago:
And started digging!
And digging....
And digging!!!!!
Til we ended up with something like this!
The dogs think it's a great new play area! Actually it's going to be a pond. It's part of our plan to try and save this place when a forest fire comes though. This year the fire season has been fairly quiet, but we live in a forest and someday it's going to burn. It should hold close to 50,000 gallons of water so when the fire gets too close, we can turn on the sprinklers and extra pumps and get out. Now we have to line it and get the pumps set up.
