May Long - Monday

Well, Monday it was back to work! Scott finished the path, and my job was to sweep the sand around on it so that it filled the cracks...you can see here how much fun I'm having...



The finished path!







Once we had everything cleaned up, it was time to plant! Here's the two gardners surveying a job well done. :)



A few garden shots...



Tomatoes...











One of my other projects for the weekend was getting our end tables stained and varnished. Here's the finished product!



We also made and stained a shelf to go above our sink to have some greenery there. The pots on the end are oregano and parsley. Somehow, almost unintentionally, we managed to get a stain that matched our cupboards!

May Long - Sunday

On Sunday we headed up with our friends Brad and Kendra and their daughter Anika to Echo Dale, a park near Medicine Hat.


Unfortunately, there was no swimming to be had, as this is a man-made lake that's drained every fall, so I'm told. So all I had to swim in was a muddle little puddle...



But as you can see, I was determined. This is me SITTING in the deepest part of the lake... (right in the middle)



We still managed to have a good time, with a fire and weiner roast later.

May Long - Saturday

Well, we had an eventful long weekend! On Saturday we set to work getting our garden area ready to be a garden! You may remember this picture from last year...this is the "before".



A neighbour gave us a bunch of leftover paving stones from a project he had done in his yard, and for a while we've wanted to make them into a little path in our yard. This was the weekend! Here was our rough estimate of what it would look like:



We've got the flags up, ready to get this path laid!



Hard at work....





Almost there!


While Scott was working on this, my project was to clean out the shed from all the stuff the previous owners left. Here's some of the junk that was in there....







Sweeping out the emptied shed!
