Rainy day gardening

It rained steadily today so I decided to spend my time making an equipment purchase.  We are building a retaining wall at the southeastern portion of our property to mark the lower boundary of the "daylily bed". Our neighbor is reconstructing her home and had quite a number of reusable concrete squares.  They vary in thickness but are quite heavy.  A tractor and loader got them to the edge of our property, but to get them up the hill to the retaining wall site has been a real chore.  We decided to forgo further lifting into a wheelbarrow, and to purchase a hand truck.  Enter the Harbor Freight sale on the "bigfoot handtruck" and voila, an easier way to get the blocks up the hill.
