Yard Projects

Well, I started 2 projects and have a mess!

 1)  Extend patio with pavers.  Ran into a concrete something that I had to have jack hammered out.  the dirt is so hard I have to water it and then use a digging pole to break it up, then put the loose dirt in a bucket and distribute it out back.  Ugh!!  This one will take me a while.

2)  I moved 2 blocks of decorative pavers (to be used on the patio extention) behind my trailer.  I moved large gravel from in front of the shed and put in blocks that line the planter.  I was going to finish this one when the other one was finished, but have decided that that might be a long time from now.  I have it ready for the dirt and flowers.  I will have it finished by tomorrow.  Yeh!!! 1 down and 1 to go.

OH!  I finished painting the white iron on the patio.  pics to follow.

There is a BlueGrass Festival in town this week end and I want to go sometime today.

Cat condo

Billies Cat Condo

Dutch brought the condo stand over yesterday and we set it up.  It works really good.  I think Billie will like it.  He can go outside anytime he wants now.  I think it will take some time for him to get used to it.

Abb and Daphne came yesterday.  They stayed for a while then went to the motel for a nap.  They came back over about 5 and we bbq'd hamburgers.  We sat out in my little patio and had dinner and visited for a while.  Daphne has to hard a time going up the steps to go inside.

Today we are going to Tombstone and do some sightseeing.  Should be fun.

Extension of Patio

I decided to extend my patio area by moving the gravel and putting in new pavers. I have 2 3x3 designer pavers that I wanted to move to the new area. I got the gravel moved and found that there was a round cement something right in the way. Dennis, one of the men here, has a jack hammer and he come over and took most of it out for me. Now I get to move more dirt and put down the weed material, pavers, etc.

Dutch gave me a bird bath that he had put a hole in. I think I will clean it up and use it for a plant stand. We shall see.

Another project is a 2 ft planter in front of the shed. I feel the need for flowers. I have to move the pavers first though. One project at a time.

Oh! the tomatoe plants are still here!!!:)
