Three generations of Lynch men helped us by moving considerable quantities of dirt from the west side of our house to the rest of the sides over this past Labor Day weekend. Grandpa Bill brought is 50's flatbed with hydraulic dumping to move replace the dirt. Son Craig, did a little of everything, but spent a lot of time scraping with his tractor and a blade, shaping the new road, er...yard. Grandson Bill, logged many, many hours aboard the Kubota backhoe, chewing up the mountain like a cookie.
I disassembled several cascara trees, which previously had limited the view from our south windows.
The result of the weekends efforts are extensive flat areas around the house, an expanded parking area and a widened driveway in the apex of our turn, which should help larger rigs make the loop. Furthermore we have a much improved view and light coming in the south and west.
By next summer we hope to spend some quality time picnicing in a lawn of soft clover anywhere around our house.

Sounds good. Awfully nice of them to help you with all of that equipment. You know my Aunt Mary is a Lynch.
