A Perfect View

I believe I have mentioned that we have a small mountain range right next to the house.  It is actually the dirt that was displaced when we built the house.  The builder wanted to spread it out on our property but I didn't want him to do that because we had landscaped that part of the property.

We had found someone to haul away the dirt but after about 20 dump truck loads, there wasn't a noticeable difference in mountain size.

they can put the piano in the basement.

So yesterday Mike asked the guy driving the back hoe to smooth out our mountains.

This is what it looks like now.  

And here is a view from the front yard.  

Before.  Sela used the mountain to practice her climbing skills.  

After.  No more mountains for Sela to climb.
