This weekend we rented a skid steer to finally get all the dirt for the garden beds moved. It took about 4 hours of running the machine to move the 40ish cubic yards of dirt that make up the rest of the garden beds, but we did it! While I ran the skid steer, Jeremy and the kids raked and shoveled the piles of dirt I dropped into reasonable beds. Unfortunately, there's just no way they could keep up with the machine, so only about half the garden is in its final form. Here are some pics to show you where it sits for now.

The end that hasn't been raked yet - there's some more work to do here.
Sunday, we went to Baldwin to help Scott move some stuff and to dig up his asparagus bed (he didn't want the plants). I dug asparagus while Jeremy helped him move. We ended up with about a dozen plants for our efforts, some of which were very nice sized.

Later Sunday, we had 2 friends who are photographers come out to take family pictures outside at the farm with Scott and Elexys. We enjoyed a couple of hours walking around and getting cool, informal pictures all over. It was a nice reminder that the farm has some very beautiful and relaxing places...we should take more walks.

After pictures, we planted the asparagus crowns and then went out for a fun dinner together. It was a nice end to a busy day.
