Doing a Little Yardwork

We had planned to do some massive yard work Memorial Day weekend, but the place we needed to get rocks was closed all weekend. What were they thinking closing ALL weekend? I can understand closing Monday. And the crazy thing was, we tried two other rock places and they were both closed as well. They missed out because there were other people sitting at their gates wanting rocks and stuff, too...

So, we had to wait another week to get to work on our landscaping plans. Dad ended up getting off early on Friday, so we rushed to the rock place before they closed and picked up 2300 pounds of moss rock. Hoped it would be enough...
Little Buddy's starting to pull rocks out of the back of the truck to get some of the weight off.

Dad spray painted a line for the edge of the front beds. We pulled the existing bed out in a couple of places to add some extra landscaping. We got most of the work done Friday evening (working into the dark - thankful for the street light in front of our house). Saturday morning, we headed back to the rock place for top soil and mulch.

By 11am, we were finished with yardwork for a while! SO glad we started Friday evening.

We enlarged the front beds and planted a Crepe Myrtle and some other flowers. Still need more fillers for the extra bedding... Looking for just that right something.

We still had rocks left, so we continued around other beds on the side of the house and on to the back yard.

Even though Little Buddy got in a picture, Little Girl was the hardest worker.

And while we were working, Bit and Bear were packing for camp and fixing dinner.
