The Mound - part 2

Saturday and no builders around! So, out with the digger and I began shifting the earth which they'd moved away from the house. Sue is concerned that we put enough soil onto the mound to allow for settling. I didn't count how many trailer-loads of soil I took down to the mound but it is certainly mounting up.

The idea was to carry on today but this morning it is raining and coming down like stair-rods! I'm not sure if we'll be able to do any more today, but at least the rain should start 'settling' the earth on the mound. In the meantime, Sue's second bag of bulbs sits in the Porcherie awaiting planting!
