So Tom and I were enjoying a cup of coffee on the upper deck of the new house yesterday morning (Saturday) and surveying what used to be our back yard. After it got completely dug up for the geo-thermal field and the large dirt mountains from the foundation excavation, our back yard was no place for fun anymore. With the torrential rains that we've had since starting this project, the ground has been too squishy to do anything with it. Well, it's dry now and the grass/weeds are starting to grow out there in the hilly dirt field. I suggested that we work on that while the weather is nice, the ground is firm and we have the whole summer for the grass to fill back in. Sooo... I called around and found a rock rake to rent for our tractor and arranged to pick it up. 
Tom called me an INSTIGATOR! I prefer MOTIVATOR. Our neighbor was kind enough to let us borrow his dozer to spread out what little was left of the dirt pile and Tom also removed the rotten tree stump in the middle of the backyard. 
I can't wait for the grass to grow now! We'll pick up rocks and finish smoothing it out today and hopefully can scatter grass seed by this evening!
