Pics to prove it.

Due to my strange out-of-the-blue post-lunch Monday headache, I'm simply posting pictures to prove how freaking awesome my (purple, then grey, tanktop-wearing) husbot & (really handy & not to mention good sport) Daddy are. They did THIS on Saturday. In this order. All day Saturday. And it looks amazing. We literally stare at it for hours. Set up chairs & fill our cups like we're attending a summer concert. 

Professional landscapers, apparently. Who knew?!

Evidently, Jeremy dreamt about this project & design on Friday night. And then just....did it the next day. The question is  --- was he wearing the purple tank top in the dream, too? It's a critical detail.



Scoping the design.
More Scope-age.

Expanding the bed.

Digging the "mote".
Sand to level the 'mote'.


Before the flagstone laying began.

Tanktop change & strategic flagstone application.

Is the circle perfectly placed?

Almost done! Only mulch left.

Mulched!! Proud mens.

Great work. Now if my hydrangeas would just appreciate a little of this effort and give me a damn blossom or two!

  2. i'm fairly certain the purple tank top is what inspired the dream. i bet he saw that beauty laying in his dresser drawer before he went to sleep that night and it sparked the dream design. or does that tank get HUNG on a HANGER?!?! it seems like it would be fancy enough to be hanger worthy

  3. Fantastic job. Keeping in what needs to stay in (mulch) and out what needs out (weeds). LOL went into that project. So, the ladies must have been in the house canning and cleaning? XO, Momma
