Moving Dirt

Nothing beats the smell of fresh turned soil out here on the farm, whether it be by plow or blade, it's all the same and it stirs a farmers senses.
Sort of like fresh rain from the heavens and the first glimmer of sun on a clear spring morning following the rain.

This project began in the spring of 2009, the goal was to allow the water to drain from the yard freely into the field and not stand in the drive for days. So it has worked quite well but it seems that, as with most any dirt project, it simply isn't quite finished. For the soil is to me as the clay is to the sculptor and it longs to be moved, sometimes it just cries out to me begging to be stirred up.
Perhaps as the weather cools and brings a bit more moisture to the soil we will stir it up a bit more. Fall gardening time is fast approaching as well so we'd better knock the rust off of the old moldboard plow.
