We got out early this morning to get it done because the rain was supposed to come. We had put down stones for the walkway a couple of weeks ago, but they were only arranged, not level and fixed in place. It had been staring us in the face every time we drove in the driveway. So..today was the day. We had to dig out, level, put down tiny rocks, tamp in place every stone. We did about ten stones, got hungry and stopped for breakfast and went at it again. We came back and finished it. We swept off the rocks, wet them down, moved dirt around. It looks great. I like the way it curves...it's serpentine.
Still there was no rain. There was plenty more to do. Dwight tilled around the garden fence so that I can plant pansies and keep the grass from growing into the garden. I began the process of getting out the grass (plus some earthworms and grubs) and tossed them over to the chickens.
The rain still had not come so Dwight tilled in the courtyard area near the woods line so that I can plant some beautyberry bushes and a lantana that I got at the arboretum plant giveaway. Then we trimmed some stray limbs from the maple behind the plowed area.
You know, that rain still has not gotten here, but we surely did have a great productive fall day outside.
