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!
;)
