Buh-bye, Rocks

The rocks are gone!
The couple from craigslist came around 9:45 AM today. We had two wheel barrows, three shovels, four adults, and a toddler. Two truckloads later, and we were done by noon, except for the packed in rocks around the roses. The couple left then, because they had enough rocks and enough of the project. J. and I took a break for lunch, put O. down for a nap, and finished the rest by 2:30 PM.

We lucked out on the weather too. We've had about a week of 100 oF and up heat indices, but a front came through last night, and it was only 85 oF. Light rain, too, but not enough to stop the work.

Rock-moving was also a good reason to try the local bakery doughnuts. It was O.'s first. He loved them. Ate two, and asked for more.

Looks Great! And now it's a project ready to finish. You've inherited your Mom's gardening gene. :-)

Plus... if I were 2 years old, I'd love those donuts, too!!!

Enjoy your blog! Am looking forward to seeing the finished results. And 2 1/2 year olds can be a LOT of help!
