Where would one go about getting a big amount of topsoil that was the
good stuff? Is there a place where you can order it and have it dumped
in your yard? Or do you just have to buy it by the bag?
The weather here is really crummy for the early bloomers. It was 70's
then got down to 30's and snowed a little bit.
We are used to being in Illinois and driving in all sorts of ice and
snaow.
Yesterday with less than a fourth of an inch on the roads, and not
even sticking my husband told me the cars were going five miles per hour
on the highway. I told him he was exaggerating and he said NO! He said
he kept expecting to come up to an accident site but nothing.
I guess the weather and driving is relative. I have seen people digging
out of four feet of snow to drive to work in North Dakota and school
closings with less than an inch in Alabama.
I am just glad I waited to plant those seeds until the unpredictable
weather pattern leaves us.
Elnino is supposed to be over with, isn't it?
