Dan and all,

I started work on the embankment yesterday. The ground is hard, dry and 
rocky. I am
making progress by wetting it down a day ahead. You were right about the 
Aspen. That
is what we have here and I will plant a few in the embankment next year. The 
weather
remains nilld, We actually hit 70 degrees today.
