Projects

With a new house, there's always some projects on the go, and after building a raise deck/path to the clothesline, the current one is the front yard landscaping.
Greg had my Dad helping on the weekend, which allowed things to move forward far more quickly -
thanks Dad for all your hard work! Someone Greg knew through work also donated about 20 large sandstone blocks to the cause, that they had no use for, so the digger was put to good use building some stone stairs as well as pushing dirt around and escavating around the side (so that we have somewhere to park the van - oh, and the van is another project entirely!!).
Olivia was a keen helper at times, although the girls were far less impressed with the heavy machinery than their two males cousins would have been...
The plan is to finish the front path this weekend weather permitting - and the blustery winds and chilly temperatures should at least guarantee clear weather, albeit rather cold!
