Howdee all,
Had a very busy day yesterday. See where that plastic is on the right hand side of the drive. Here is the plastic. A few days ago we took out a garden that was here, to make it easier for my parents…one less garden to weed. We also wanted to enlarge the drive to make room for our cars in the drive.
Jeff and I call ourselves the Migrant workers..when we stop at friends or relatives..we like to give a helping hand. Star likes to sit in the car and observe I grew up in this house..I was three when we moved here..50 years ago. Yikes..here comes the gravel truck..I'm thinking..where is all that gravel going to go and who is going to spread it ?? Don't hit my House! Dad watching the gravel being dumped It was a scorcher today…Wow look at the clouds!The finished product..after some raking, shoveling and plowing with Dads plow..I think I lost ten pounds in water weight..and I didn't stop there…mowed the lawn too!
Tomorrow I rest. ..oh maybe a little weed whacking..
Now, I am tired and need a cold drink after reading! LOL... good job!
ReplyDelete...great idea. It's always good to have a little more leg room on a driveway. You really worked hard! Hope you didn't get any blisters on your hand...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of work, but the finished product looks great. Don't work too hard, after all it is Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a hard time bringing up your blog other than thru twitter.
Any ideas?
Great idea. You really earned your keep this trip. Now sit back and enjoy your time with your parents..take them for a spin..maybe they'll want to get one and follow you around.

ReplyDeleteWOW! That is so so nice - to help your folks like that and to undertake such a wonderful project. lol on calling yourselves the migrant workers! That's some nice gravel ... sure wish I had a truck load of it. And look at the Star...all relaxed and regal from her pad she watches over. Too cute. Beautiful dog. Beautiful home! Glad you're having such a nice time with your mom and dad. Very special!
ReplyDeleteA woman of many talents!
ReplyDeleteI like Star's idea.
How are you with a paint brush? I'll e-mail MY address....
I guess if you expect someone to let you stay at their house you better earn your keep! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice little neighborhood. Hard to believe your parents have been there so long! Wow!
Great job! ...so much work esp. when it is hot out! yuk! but it looks great! It's so nice you take the time to help your Mother and Father do such a big job!!

ReplyDeleteLooks like you are doing what we did in May, while visiting our Parents in Iowa. You have way more energy Than I do. Diane
ReplyDeleteI asked you guys when the rocks were coming in. How come you didn't call???? Anyway it looks great.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good job well done! I bet your friends and relatives can't wait for you and Jeff to show up and help with all sorts of jobs around the homestead!
ReplyDeleteIs Star a Doberman? What a great spot to keep an eye on everyone!
Getting caught up after being away last week in Maine. Love your pics of the BAOR. Last year they showed up early at my feeders (suet & oranges) and kept coming back. This year one male fluttered by the kitchen morning in May and none back since, though I hear them singing all around and know they are nesting nearby. I wonder why.
ReplyDeleteIt was ME that first called you guys migrant workers. I used it in a blog actually when John, Barb, you and Jeffie were all here together and painted the house. It looks better without that side garden. It never was really much of a garden anyway. Was the quince and the flowering almond still there when you dug everything out. If so what did you do with them.
