Tuesday morning

We made significant progress on the front yard yesterday. Ms. Landscape Person did most of the heavy lifting, literally as well as figuratively. I walked around from the back of the house to find her lifting one end of an eight-foot long, 6 by 6-inch railroad tie and dragging it out to the driveway — much to the astonishment of the work crew rebuilding the house across the street.

I would have helped, but she started without me.

No, really — I would have helped.

In the back yard, the elm tree has been pruned of dead branches and most of the old fence has been taken down. The fence guy — same as the deck guy — says my new fence will be in place by Sunday.
