Memorial Day Weekend Projects

Here's what we did for the long weekend. In 3 stages, I removed this pile of rock from the front and side flowerbeds. In my estimation, it was about 30 wheelbarrow trips from the front yard to the back, half of which David did for me.

Getting rid of that stuff let me put in 3 Asiatic Lilies and one more purple Coral Bells, 4 bags of top soil plus most of the dirt pile left over from widening the parking pad and 8 bags of cypress mulch. The end result is quite nice if I do say so myself.

David hung the ledger boards for the deck in the back yard. Hopefully the weather will hold this week and the retaining wall guy will be able to start tomorrow.

I also picked up this cute bug made out of a glass insulator (like from old power lines) at the farmer's market.
