Spring has arrived so beautifully over the past several days. Daffodils, tulips, and grape hyacinth have been blooming so sweetly in front of the house. Tuesday it snowed. Hard. All day long. It was very wet snow, but after a day of non-stop snow, it was accumulating on the flowers and surfaces outside by the time I got home from school around 3:45! So strange on April 20th!
Monday, we had work started on our new septic system. They worked for a little bit today, but the snow put a damper on things today. This is how they left the yard today...
That's the new tank, ready to go in the ground.
On Wednesday, the weather returned to "normal" spring-like weather, and they dug up more of the yard... 
...including a trench for the leech field.
On Thursday, they dug 2 more trenches for the leech field.
That takes up our entire side yard.
The backyard is pretty much all dug up too.
The tank went into the ground today, so now we have some mini-mountains of dirt.
Annah saw these photos and said, "There goes all of Dad's beautiful green grass--
and hard-earned money!"
Yeah, it's not a pretty project, and it will take a lot of time and effort to get a yard back once this is finished. And it will cost more money than I've made working full time for the entire school year.
Next week, we will have some major plumbing done to get all of this connected and functional.
The good news is that most of the flowers lived through the snow--and the dandelions did too!
I love it when there are violets in the yard before it gets mowed!
