Sacred Sunday – What were we thinking?
July 29, 2008
- Need a new fence
Saturday we trucked down to Lowes and bought materials to put in new fencing in the back yard. We stacked the boards and started tearing out the old sections. Our back neighbors moved out so we could get into that side with no hassle. We thought “we can do this ourselves!”, but by Saturday night, exhausted with the heat and physical exertion of digging into dirt that is mostly rock , Kelly said, “What were we thinking when we thought we could do this ourselves?” We still have twenty-three more sections to go! So Sunday we finished cleaning things up and made a call to our local landscaper asking for help with a big H E L P! Lucky for us he can come by later this week and will have all three sides done in two days. We would have taken weeks, (months?) if we hadn’t hurt ourselves in the meantime. Thank goodness for those folks who do this for a living. But it did provide a great opportunity to get in behind the lemon tree and rose bush to do some pruning and cleaning up in areas that were hard to reach with a fence in the way.
It’s so exciting to be getting this done. We’ll be all new and fresh and our backyard will look great!
I’m grateful for landscapers and the ability to pay them to do the work I can no longer manage.
