FlatA nice looking morning, clouds hanging around, still chilly. From looking at their web cams, it's snowing in Yellowstone this morning.
Scott came a little while ago to measure the back yard for gravel and will give us an estimate and show us different kinds, sizes and colors of gravel in about 2 weeks. So that's started anyway. I was disappointed that for some reason Joe has really drawn back from doing anything but very basic gravel on the ground only in the fenced in area in the back yard. We should be having Scott do the plan and estimate all at once.
My heart sank anyway and got a little riled up at him. It's a start. We can use this as a beginning and then go from there. Of course I have all these ideas I'd like to see really happen. I had hoped to have him do both front and back, get it over with and have some kind of beauty to it even though we're mainly having gravel and rocks. Scott said if we want to change it later he can pull back some of the gravel and so something different for landscaping areas. I did ask him to price us some stepping stones off the deck stairs to the gate, just as long as they are level.
Yesterday afternoon I made a batch of oatmeal cookies. Joe had his coffee this morning, and now he's gone to the post office. We haven't gotten the mail for a while and there will probably be more bills that will need to be paid. He also did some more cleaning in the yard. I did the phone bill yesterday. It helped some that the refund they gave us for the internet service being bad was deducted from this month - almost a hundred dollars. We're also both getting that one time payment from OBama on our social security.
Interesting story below, wonderful photos are different on each link.
