Dawn, they are adorable..I'm always looking for young children to sketch..just might have to make an attempt to do so..

Trisha, amazed at what you accomplished today as well..I walked over to Bernice's, omg you should have seen the sight of me, I played outside for 11 hrs. today..unless you saw the before and after you'd never know how hard I worked...

Anyway, reason for going to Bernice's was her Rhubbarb Leaves, large but if I wait until next weekend I should get some mega sized stones..

Hope Trisha, you and Laura at least have enough $$$ left to buy 3 or 4 bags of cement..lol

Greg dropped in, he's been working late every evening and weekends for the last 3 weeks in his yard..Melanie says it's spectacular the way he did a patio with slate around the fireplace he built in the back of the yard..opened up the pool yesterday..think Melanie will get the hint that as her 40th if Friday she'll be having a SURPRISE party on Saturday...nah...nothing to give her a hint...he is away all week so said all has to be done by tomorrow..guess who is getting a new bike..no not me..lol..but Melanie is...

They dropped in to borrow my wet saw to cut some slate, was telling Greg I had a good cry last night..he and Jeff are always telling me that while we are at my burial, there will be a big green garbage box set in the yard to all can be dumped...well as I was driving into town I looked over at Helen's (my friend that died about a month ago) what did I see, yep big green garbage box and about 5 people working throwing things in it..just hit me of what was to come around here..Greg laughed, said not to worry, he'd keep all the tools..brats, that's what I raised..

I'm so sore and tired, guess 18 wheelbarrels of sod I dug up and had to dispose of might have had something to do with it... then laying 6 patio stones, 13 more to come next weekend so I can do a checkerboard design and do gardens right up to it..

So far I've taken the sod out of this garden, all fresh, even planted a few transplants until I get all my plants next weekend so that people won't walk on it and disturb the flower seed just planted..

Spoke to the man next door and asked him if he and his boys could pull the fencing that fell on my side but is his over to his side so I can plant trees..not sure what century that will be done...most likely he knows that I'll get fed up and do it myself....
