Preparing The Flowerbeds

The weather forecasters called the spring of 2008 in Winnipeg as wet. Really? I thought that every spring was really, really wet in Winnipeg. After all, there is a ton of snow to melt!

The small kabota was no match for Winnipeg's soaked clay gumbo. After digging out the 2 ponds, Jim tried ever so slowly to move the clay dirt into mounds for my flowerbeds. Everything work fine until he reached a certain height. Then 'all heck' broke loose. It is with great thanks to our maker above or just great timing that Jim managed to jump out and free of the kabota as it fell to its side. The image shows Jim trying to push the tractor back up. Not going to happen.

With the help of the rental people and a winch, they up righted the beast and Jim continued his mission. By the way, the mission was accomplished!
