Sunday ... a day of rest!

We started early today and planted the 'no mow' grass ... no pictures yet of that as I really want to see a few sprouts  before posting.  After that, we focused on building up one of the ledge walls on our back patio.  Here you can see me pulling some granite from the quarry to the back patio.  What you missing is a shot of our pick-up replacing me as we pulled the granite up a hill.

Here's the final product ... we're really proud of this ...  but not looking forward to the morning when we're pretty sure both of us will be suffering from moving these rocks into place.
Kim and I still have a lot of projects that we want to complete before the winter sets in. Among them are  to plant some 'no mow' grass and also to test some wildflowers in the septic area that's now overgrown with weeds.  The first step for both of these was to get some topsoil, aka dirt, delivered. Here are some shots of a half a load dropped off on top of the hill with the rest dropped off at the bottom.  The wheelbarrow will be getting a workout.
