Rockin' Around...

Steve got 14 pallets of  native rocks from where he was working.  They were removing them from the front walls of the building and remodeling.  He asked what they would be doing with them and it so happened they were taking them to the dump!

Enter Steve, who offered to take them all to our place!  FREE native rock for the taking - and of course chipping cement off of them.  Steve, spent hours chipping the cement and then we started making our flower bed:

I have never done anything of this magnitude, so as I said a day or so ago, we took a hose, layed it out in a pretty fashion and we started laying rocks beside it:

Not sure about the final flower bed, but we are sure trying to add character to the place:

Now to just remove the patio blocks, then move those stinkin' pots, till it up, add dirt, flowers, mulch...

It is going to be soooo worth it!  This is the north side, so it is shady most all the time.  The west side gets morning to noon-ish sun.  Research, research... and work, work, work! 

Trying to stay busy for the upcoming Bethesda adventure - and it seems to be working!
