Getting into Position

The digging is done and they have started building the forms for the concrete foundation, which they are hoping to pour early next week. I didn't realize how much dirt they would have to remove (3 dump trucks full), and how much they would save for back fill (and subsequently pile on top of my plants). The yard is in a very sad state right now, and the lawn is a complete goner. My raised beds are covered with the wood from the old deck, but I'm hopeful that I will be able to move them into there new positions by the time I want to get some seeds and starts in the ground (late March).
