Now just jump up and over the little 4-ft metal fabric fence and face the street. You can see the cleared dirt surface behind the fence, the leaves on the surface in front, the Star Jasmine growing gently and with strength internally which will cause it to explode next spring. The archway/arbor with the rose and clematis. The corner on which I live and will finally welcome folks as they approach as my neighbors have during and after my CA treatment, while I healed and suffered the complications which slowed me down so.

The layout of my pavers will require that I have the area dug out and layed with 3-5 inches of sand before they are installed. What I don't recall mentioning earlier is that the pavers laid out at the west side of the house began to crack and break within days of laying them atop bare ground. These pavers go back to the 1940's-50's and are not fixed clay, but virgin clay, baked to perform their task. But they are very fragile. Now they rested out in my seller's yard for 40+ years just fine. So they are not so fragile as to be unusable. But they do require a bit of TLC and that's going to be an expensive task which I leave to next year.

So, that's it. Do you see my bones? skeleton?
