He'd come in and tell me how HARD the ground was...."it's just almost impossible to dig," he'd say, puffing away. Now, Allen is strong and a hard worker, so I knew it must really be challenging, and he wasn't just a wimp.
So, he did what any MAN would do at this point... He went to Rent-A-Toy...only they don't call it a toy. They call it a technical name so the wife won't think he's having any fun!
Even with that big fun toy, it was a challenge to dig that hard, rock-solid soil. Allen spent a lot of hours trying to make trenches, smooth the dirt out, etc.
But, finally, yard was in - complete with shrubs, trees, flowers, fruits. Ahhh, lovely!
Soooooooo, let's fast forward 2 years.
New neighbor moves in.
Hires landscaper.
For two days in a row, Allen and I hear the sound of - yes, you guessed it:
Jack Hammers!
To put in the lawn and sprinkler system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, you can see that it REALLY is a challenge to dig in the soil in St. George!
