48 Railroad ties on the lawn, 48 railroad ties...Take one down...

Here's what 48 railroad ties looks like in our driveway. We're finally building the raised garden along the west side of the house. After several hours of logistical quibbling (cut short by the divine intervention of our neighbor Christopher, who actually has experience with gardening and landscaping), we settled on a plan and began to implement it. At which time, we had to stop working in the yard and go work on school stuff. So in the yard the ties shall remain. We're all set to resume work next weekend, though. Shouldn't take too long now...(famous last words).
