dig deep

I am trying to dig up my front yard and plant grass so I can have a real lawn to replace the overabundance of weeds and wiregrass that I have called a front yard for the past three years. I've been meaning to do this for the entire month of September...and October...and now I'm about 4-6 weeks late getting it done. (Done? Who am I kidding? I've barely started.) And now I'm sitting inside at the computer because I'm tired and I've only dug up a quarter of the grass so far. I very well may end up with a mudpit for a front yard for the duration of winter until I can replant in the spring.
