⛑ on the boulevard

 ⛑ this is not construction today

however, it feels likek a major project [ it is a major project ]

Murray McLauchlan sang ' On the Boulevard in 1976 ' 

...Did you see them on the Boulevard

Did you see them on the Promenade
When the lights come on
They can't forget
That they ever had to work so hard

OMG  he knew about my project

the story. Got out there and dug out some edges of the sections of the boulevard - sort of tidying up and finalizing position of terrain
then the topsoil arrived
driver kindly dropped the bulk of the load two feet from the best possible
I theorized that patiently working away at the pile was best. Work a bit and rest
well, good try. A .. had promised to drop by and maybe help
and the pace jumped up about 6 notches
of course, 40 minutes later - all spread along the boulevard

a worry was the limestone screenings [ 20 wheelbarrows or so ] - I kept asking people ' want some screenings ? ' Two drivers said,' sure '
# 1 was the turf care guy [ nope never came back ]
# 2 was a neighbour. ' hey, I need fill like that '
he came back
and we shovelled the bulk of the screenings onto the truck bed

approx 2 wheelbarrows are left

OK. job is to rake and re - level the topsoil, tomorrow
grass seeds ?
not sure
