Grading the Pond
Bob the Bulldozer (Mick Ahearn, Babcock Enterprises) came a week ago Thursday to do the finish grading on the pond, finished Friday at noon. That meant a lot of work ahead of us, after the fun of supervising the bulldozing. Friday afternoon was spent raking, honing and otherwise leveling the seed bed, then spreading the seed. I estimated about an acre of dirt, so that was a big job. I seeded it with three different kinds of clover (hopefully to attract deer) and several different kinds of perennial grasses. Of course the worst part, was picking all the stones. I couldn’t have got that done without the help of Jann, Jeff, and Drew.

Looks like a lot of hard work. Sorry we couldn't be there to help. Your doing a really nice job on that project. Can't wait to see it. Are you going to stock it with any fish?
Large mouth bass. July 21. They will be REAL small. Maybe catchable next year.
That is so totally awesome! I know what a hard job it has been but I think it was well worth all the effort. I envy Doris that view too. Just looking down the valley was awesome enough!
I hated "picking rocks". I wonder what city folk would think that "picking rocks" was?
