Our New Landscaping - A Work in Progress

After spending at least a year thinking and contemplating what to do with our "front yard", Dad starting putting in pavers yesterday. We were very fortunate because the day we were going to Lowe's to buy the pavers, someone was giving a bunch away. Dad didn't have quite enough and yesterday when he was working, a group of ladies out walking told him about another person in the park who was giving some more away, soooooooooooooooooo we got all our pavers free. Now I can spend the money on a new countertop and sink.
Of course, dad isn't finished. He has the outline done but will continue work for a few more days. It's looking good though and he's getting LOTS of compliments from people walking by.
Amy, do you see the little snake by the blue ball? It's a little cloth snake. It SCARED DeAnn big time - I laughed but after seeing her face, I felt sorry for her. We put it in the middle of the rocks so it will look more realistic.

If you look very carefuy in the midde by the white skirting, you will see a litte lizzard. He was scrambling around in the rocks while dad was working. Dad accidently pulled his tail off and it wiggled around in the rocks by itself, unattached for several minutes - amazing!! Lucky lizzard will grow another one though.


Here's our "new" car for the week - it's an HHR - bright red. Haven't really gone anywhere in it yet but have to get groceries and do some running this afternoon. I can't drive it so dad has to take me. They said it would probably take a week to get ours repaired. Guess what, DeAnn, the door does not screech and squeak when you open it.
Have a super week - it's going to be another warm one here today - inside the trailer it was close to 90 degrees but it's very pleasant in my swing out on the patio.
