Subsoil and receding rock lines...

This is our front lawn. The soil isn't too good, as you can see there is very little organic matter here.

This rock shouldn't have all been leveled out - about a foot needs to be taken away and then filled with dirt so we can actually plant grass.

Here, you can see the high rock level line as the rock receded. (haha - play on words of high water line, etc)

There's still a pile left, but it is far smaller than it was.

The large pile of trees that were pulled down to make room for our house was set afire on Friday. Even though it drizzled all Saturday, it is still smouldering.

This is the front of the house with the pots and the first coat of paint on the front door. It is a deep red, and is a Ben Moore colour called Raisin Torte.

And no, I don't believe Raisin Torte it has anything to do with lawyers.
