Yard Work

Last weekend was such beautiful weather that M decided it was a good day to replenish the rock alongside our house. It is a project that has been needing to get done for three years, but with little kids running everywhere, M just never had the energy to take on such a project.
As with any special event, the right outfit is essential. So I did my best to choose a good outfit!!! M just laughed at me and let me run outside. Part of the reason M laughed so hard was because this new dress I am wearing is actually a shirt that is only 2 sizes bigger than what I currently wear. I guess whatever works!!Part of the reason M was finally willing to take on this project is because she solicited the help of P and his trailer. We did about 6 wheelbarrows full to the flower beds and the back patio.
Then with the rest of the load P tilted his trailer and slowly drove forward, while M raked and leveled behind him. But with a ton of rock and a good hour of work the rock is again level with the driveway. Thanks P for helping. And it's a good thing P was there to help us since M was busy chasing after C as she was visiting the neighbors' houses!
The other excitement for me that morning was the huge crane that was in our neighborhood. P thought maybe someone was trying to move a hot tub or something.
