Tying up the week

Well, I am back from my visit North to my Sister's. We had a great trip and a wonderful visit. More on that on Monday.

These are the last photos of my friends front yard. I didn't have time to post before we left, the bridge is in, the pots although empty are placed and the stream bed is looking great. No, there will not be a fountain or water through the stream, just an illusion.

This is the overall look. (I wish I had been up a ladder)

About what you see from the front door.


Your view from the barely seen bench in the top photo.


A toast...we are done!


Now our bodies can go back to their slothful ways we just have to see what the snow pack is going to do and maybe do some adjusting next spring. We are all very happy with the way it looks though and yes, that is real Champers!

Enjoy your weekend all.

Well, the big stuff is done.

Well, after a few grueling days of work, this is what we have to show for it.




We sieved a 16 Liter (4 Gal) bucket full of sand out of the rocks. Actually more, that is just the amount that we caught in order to use elsewhere. So, some niggle bits to do and finishing touches to add and we will be done. I will post photos when that happens.

Have a good weekend all.

Here we go again!

I did some filming while we were working today on the yard, but I am now having trouble editing! We got rained out after only about five hours work though, so I guess we are back at it tomorrow (Friday). We spent the rain time picking out more rock though, so it wasn't a total loss.

Hopefully I will get video up Friday evening, because that will mean we don't have to do more work on Saturday morning!

My body is finally adjusting to the torture I am putting it through so that is good.

Happy Friday all!
