Tomorrow's chore

Tomorrow, after my Lil Sis leaves to head back to NJ, I will have the task of moving some more stone behind the retaining walls and then...

One, big, farookin' pile of dirt.

...this huge pile of dirt will have to be moved to fill in the remainder of the volume behind the walls. And, although the angle doesn't prove it, it is a huge pile. As reference, the white pipes in the background are 10 feet long and that yellow/green bucket is for kitty litter, measures about 8 inches wide, 16 inches long and 16 inches high, and holds about five gallons. When Terry, who is 4' 10" stands next to it, the dirt pile is higher than she is tall.

With luck, I'll be able to get a foot or two of dirt in there and still have some left over for raised beds. (Which I still need to construct.)
