I'm trying to dig a grave for our guinea pig. He was my son's guinea pig but I loved him too so....
Our soil is clay and full of roots and rocks. It's very hard to dig in. I don't think I've even dug down more than an inch or two, if that!
I am using a shovel, a pitch fork and a spaded hoe and I'm still having a hard time. Mostly it's the roots. I tried using a post hole digger but that was a waste.
Now I am taking a break as I am hot and sweaty and the sqeeters were also attacking me! I am going to put some SSS (Skin-So-Soft) on.
I still have to make my son's cheesecake and also start my pork chop casserole in the crock pot.
Poor Henry's grave may have to wait a few days. I know it's supposed to rain again this week.
But I think it's supposed to be nice again this weekend. So it may have to wait until then.
Right now he's in a box in the freezer.
Well I think that's all for now.
Going to put on the SSS and go back out and try again and see how far I get. Tootles!
