A parent watches from the branch as we move in and out of the garage. Poopies
on the car, too! |
They do not move a muscle...or wing. The poor mommy & daddy fly around fearful for their babies
|
Who knew? We only own to this side of the white cord. The township owns
up from there to the road. |
|
The neighbours think their 3 (count 'em) dogs need a fence to run free.
We comply. What can we do? |
That is a lot of gravel to move for two months worth of dogs outside! I
hope they do not leave them out for long. They barked for hour when the
owners were away the other evening. |
The shed just makes it in the boundary. They cannot afford to put it on
all 3 sides of their property this year. What is the point?! |
|
|
We moved most of the wood pile.Next year they will fence it in on three
sides.What a lot of work. A call into DMC brings help for us. |
The fence will run about 200' to the water. We have to pay to move the gravel
and beams. There goes part of your inheritance! |

He lifted wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of 3/4" gravel. Brian moved
this pile of wood for the third time. |
Such a shame the neighbours want to put in a black chain link fence to keep
the dogs in. |
Dave stupidvises with his bad back. Wayne looked after him and wouldn't let him move the big 6 x 6 beams.

Discussion and debate on day 2.

Wayne worked sooo hard, as did we all. |
Now I have to rake it in. My arms are so sore.
|
|
What a waste of time, backhoe, and energy back in 2007. We had our tree
man ship many branches and stack our wood. |
Those big 6" & 10" spikes were handy. We had wood left over. Not much energy,
though. Shallow rooted trees surround us. |
A smaller but useable size. The neighbours snuck over to check it out but
did not make any comments nor a thank you for getting the work done so quickly.
We were so proud of ourselves. |
|
I raked and raked and replaced the ground with wood chips. |
Looks good as new. Did I mention I ache?!
|
What a nice house. Too bad things keep going wrong. There was so much mom
and dad couldn't take care of or didn't tell us about. |
|
Pretty flowers.
|
Astilbe is pretty.
|
The wagon flowers flourish.
