We've been very busy around here, leaving little time for crafting.
Working around the yard in preparation for the wedding has forced us to take a good look at projects that really needed to be done. Dave was going to just spruce up the steps at the north side of the porch, but found that the wood really needed to be replaced. He's working on finishing it up right now, with the hope of staining it in the next day or two.
Our big surprise this summer was finding out that we needed to dig a new well. Luckily, a good friend of Dave's works for a drilling company and he was able to speed up the permit process and get things moving. The drilling was done today, and tomorrow they will hook up everything.
I was amazed at the amount of clay that came out of the ground. At this point, they were about halfway through the drilling process. If only I knew how to make things out of clay!
Carol and I went shopping for flowers last week. We were advised to purchase artificial flowers for her wedding arbor, and we had great fun choosing what would look best together. There are lots of pictures, if you feel like looking!
Sounds like all systems go! Such pretty flowers, artificial is certainly sensible.
ReplyDeleteWe still have a few things to work out, but we'll get there!

Yes, there is! I fall asleep in my chair almost every night after dinner!
DeleteNot surprised you fall asleep in the chair!!! Good to get really tired, though.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is!
DeleteI'm so glad you got the well dug ahead of the wedding but sorry to have missed seeing you. As I'm reading your blog backwards I know the flowers looked sensational!
