We get by with a little help from our friends.

Wow, we are soooo grateful to our friends for helping this morning/early afternoon (hello, heat!) with landscaping our front yard. We have a walkway in progress! It's actually perfectly set but will take a few days to settle before we can put the finishing touches (mulch). In the meantime, enjoy the befores and afters. :)
BEFORE: Sand way



AFTER: Stone pathway (covered with sand!)




BEFORE: Grassy patch

What a group of friends you are all;I am looking forward to see the final "look" after the settling of the stones and plants etc etc. No doubt cooperation makes the job easier and faster. Thanks to all for helping my favorite son-in-law Neal, and favorite daughter Monique. G'ma speaking
