we got to a cool morning...
in the 50s, but we layered our clothes and headed out...
we started on the walk...
pulling bricks up in sections and laying the barrier down...
just wanted to send a shout out to the One who makes it all possible...
the roses are abundant this year...
and we worked our way down...
the ground was cool, damp and hard...
so we sat on carpet samples...
and sometimes I used 2...
we just kept plugging away at it until we got it done...
the guys would pull the bricks and scrape them off...
and I would lay the barrier and then the put all the bricks back in place...
leveling as I went...
a few of the bricks became casualties as they were pulled up...
but we used those at the end...
and for borders...
DH filled in the big edge cracks with dirt...
and Craig swept in the sand...
we rushed to get things cleaned up and put away...
the rain had gotten here...
we were back inside just before 1pm for a late lunch...
but its done...
and peonies are about to open...
see...
the corn is really coming up fast...
Doug and his girl friend came last night...
we cooked out on the grill...
made a fire in the pit...
it was chilly and the fire felt good...
then we ate right next to the fire...
it wasn't 20 minutes after we were finished that the rain came again...
and not just sprinkles...
so we grabbed everything and headed inside...
they stayed pretty late last night...
and I had a migraine, so headed to bed when they left...
it was a good day and we got things done...
we used to be like this...
we need to do it again...
and if less people are praying...
we just have to double up to cover for it...
we can pray this nation back on its feet...
hope you are having a good weekend...
we got another rainy kind of morning here...
its on the radar and moving in...
gray, cloudy and in the 50s again...
might be a good day to nap...
they say you can't catch up on sleep...
but I love trying!
;)
Tete, The fellows are doing a great job. My Ted Bear and I will be put our brick walkway in soon. I know it's going to be a killer job.:):) I love visiting you site to see all your pretty garden spots. Enjoy this day. xoxox, Susie
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you made great progress on that walk! Sorry about that migraine. I have never had them, but my husband has them occasionally.
ReplyDeleteWe are truly blessed to live in this wonderful country! Always - we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

Your walk is beautiful. I feel so guilty, but we seem not to have the time nor the money to get anything done! We both tweaked our backs so we are useless right now! I suffered a bad case of Vertigo Saturday and had to rest so I could make that road trip to Pueblo yesterday. We have very warm weather here.
