Patio Project

Here is the finished (?) product. I think I will put a row at the end, but am waiting for the monsoons to come and soften the ground.  I am just tired of the digging cement.

I had decorative pavers in the front yard and I put them in the back.  Naturally they do not fit exactly the way I wanted them to, but it will do for now.

I really do enjoy sitting outside with my coffee in the morning and listening to the birds.

Bingo girls 1950's party

Saturday we had a bingo girls 1950's party.  Nancy went all out with the decorations and food.  Her husband made us fake microphones out of pvc pipe and they were a hit.  good thing we did not have a real kareoke machine!

Two poodle skirts and various other outfits showed up.  We brought baby pics and school annuals.  It was so interesting.  Some of us had not changed and others did.

Good food and friends.  what more do you need?

More yard project

I still have not finished the patio.  I took some time off, but this week end I did work both days on it and got about 2 more feet dug.  It is a a very slow process.  I have to wet the ground so I can dig.  It is like cement!

I did put another layer of blocks on the planter and I like that a lot more.  Now I need some more dirt and then I can put plants in.  I might be to late for that.

I did give myself a deadline of June 1st to have the digging done and the decorative pavers installed.  I have to buy the trim pavers in Sierra Vista and I might not get there until next week sometime.  Dutch gave me a birdbath that  he drilled a hole in so I am going to use as a plant stand.  It needs to be painted.  Red might be the color.  I don't want fire plug red, but a wine red.  we shall see what it ends up.
