I see the connection in your title to your long ago memoir. You could have also called this French Drain which is what you really need to mitigate the water flow.
Hard work, and harder as you get older. thinking of all those old folks who keep at it, kept at it, because they couldn't do otherwise. Thanks for this, Richard.
Thanks for this story, Richard. The great reward of working outdoors! You look very athletic in the photos. No mention of blisters... Did you manage to avoid them? A recent endeavor involving a pick axe left my palms miserably raw.
great piece and picture!
Eagerly awaiting your sci-fi epic: Moon Dirt
You and dirt! What is it? That is where I met your writing: grounded, earthy, basic, authentic and nuturing. Judy

BTW, try to avoid pissing off your new neighbor with the fence. I'm getting serious Tony Perkins vibes from your brief description.
