Day 2 of Labor

After another day spent digging grass, leveling ground and move about a ton of rocks – we now have a walkway. The big brown spot you see beside the patio is where the pool will go.
Day 1 of Labor Weekend
Posted by alicia on May 24, 2008 in Life
Transforming our backyard into enjoyable, livable space is becoming a reality. Here’s a pic (taken with my mobile) of the completed patio & fire pit bowl. Tomorrow 2 flower beds will be added and a walkway. Then on Monday I will finally tackle the vegetable bed.
Back Pain
Posted by alicia on May 23, 2008 in Life
I’m expecting a good deal of back pain to set in on Sunday or Monday. That is because I am going to spend most of tomorrow moving 2 tons of rocks to make a patio and a walkway through our backyard. When it’s finished and I’m laid up b/c of the back pain – I’ll post some pics.
Happy 3-day Weekend!
Phase 1: Almost Complete
Posted by alicia on May 18, 2008 in Life
I spent a little over 8 hours doing yard work on Saturday. Right now everything on my backside from the top of my shoulders to the heels of my feet hurt. And my reward? Three leveled, mulched flower beds. Only one more bed left to take care of – the raised vegetable bed (which I still need to build), then Phase 1 of my Master Plan for the backyard will be complete. The next phase in the plan is to build one large stone patio & some walkways. My goal is to finish them all before we open the pool in June.
Manless Saturday
Posted by alicia on May 3, 2008 in Life
I’m so excited about today that I woke up at 7:30. I never get up that early on the weekend. Dan is going on a fishing trip today with a couple of guy friends, so I get full run of the house! Right now I have covered our dining room table with beads and jewelry making supplies. I’m going to spend most of the morning making jewelry to sell at the Strawberry St. Festival. It will be the first time that I’m selling my jewelry to the public. I’m very nervous about it.
After the jewelry making I will clean house, garden, go to a beer festival, hit up a girl’s night and then crash onto my bed. Oh, Saturday, I love you!!
A favor

Dear Friends,
I have decided to build raised beds for my vegetable garden this summer. I want to build the beds using wine bottles. Please drink lots of wine and save your bottles for me. If you need help emptying the wine bottles, just call me.
Love,
Alicia
