Weekend Projects

No, he wasn't a project ....but Mr. Hero did say this little guy kept following him around trying to sell him insurance!

Since the first of April ........this has been our weekend project....

A sprinkler system.

Thought we could have it done by May 1st

but we're into June and still working on it.

Mr. Hero and 2 really good friends along with lots of other help have been trying to get the system installed. We had it trenched and in pretty quick then the rains came.

That made it even harder to cover the trenches.We've got about 6 weeks until there is going to be a wedding right down there by the dock.

No, not the wedding I've been telling you about on Wedding Wednesdays but another wedding.

Jessica's sister (Bella's other aunt) and Charlie's best friend are getting married.

They wanted to get married outside.

With about 75 friends.

And a small budget.

Last winter we offered them the lakehouse.

Then we decided to put the sprinkler system in.

So the last 2 Saturdays we called in the big guns...

Francisco and his crew of 4 guys moved and spread about 40 yards of dirt.
Here's Francisco and Mr. Hero putting in a drain and rock and stones for...

My birthday present that Mr. Hero bought me at Canton.
I'm so excited!
I've always wanted a potting station!
Thanks guys!

The drain runs under the flower bed that will

eventually look like a country garden.

See the drain coming out under the stones.

Tootsie I sure could use your help!

(You should see her blog header!)

Anyone else out there with a green thumb and

ideas for a fast garden I'm listening!

Here's the other project we worked on this weekend.

Steps made from railroad ties.

There were only a couple of treacherous stepping stones

coming down the hill from the deck.

Not a good entrance for a bride!

We'll put down the gravel and sod the

hillside this weekend.

Hopefully before it rains again.Sodding and planting...

that's what I'll be doing this coming weekend!

Here's what I was doing this afternoon.

Miss Bella
Day 10


That's not her tutu but a tulle bow from her shower!

It did the trick though!

She wasn't very happy with us

so I didn't get the nekkid baby shot!

I'll try again in a day or two.

My favorite shot of the afternoon!

Blessings from my delighted heart to yours!
