Aeration Day!

Ah, the dreaded day! It was beautiful out though and the soil nice and moist for the aerator! John borrowed Scott's truck and went and got the machine and then came home and we went to it...John on the machine and Jean with rope tied to the roll bar making sure it didn't roll down the hill. We were quite successful.

Nice deep plugs!
Then time to seed.

Then time to stretch tired muscles with a walk through the garden...

The Beauty Berry was spectacular this year! Best ever!

We loaded the machine back into the truck and headed to Durham and returned it. Came home and collapsed for the rest of the day. Decided that was the last time we were ever doing that again :-)
