Retro Espresso latest...



Here's what the inside of the trailer looks like now!!! So exciting... Starting to look a little bit like something.




I got the front bank by the sidewalk cleaned up. Put bark on it.




Then planted flowers in it. And then promptly people started walking and riding their bikes over it. Silly people, don't you know that's what the sidewalk is for? Better be on your toes next time you try that, cuz I'm putting "landscape rocks" in it. Hehehe...



The fun and festivities from yesterday included having two loads of gravel brought in. Then I got to rake it all out, and move half of it around with a shovel. My brother was kind enough to lend me his compacter, and I ran it over, and over, and over the drive lanes to pack it down. I woke up halfway through the night with the sorest muscles ever. I hurt from my head to my toes... I think this is a sign that I worked hard yesterday... and I might be a touch out of shape? Hahaha...

All work and no play...

Check out those muscles...



Notice the exposed ankle. I fried the chicken out of it. Ouch.





A new clematis I planted last summer. I thought it was going to be blue, by the picture it came with, but it seems to be a light lavender color.
