We got up at 5am when it was still cool outside and worked until noon or so.  Matt filled the wheelbarrow and dumped it onto the garden, I leveled it out with a rake.  Matt normally rides his bicycle the 10 miles into work every day.  But during the week of shoveling, I drove him in.  It was grueling.

My mask... well, I have chronic asthma.  One of several reasons we left LA.  I was afraid to breathe in too much of the manure.  Just a precaution.
