Yard Work

It turned into a great day for working outside!   I had a call from Jackie and while I was talking to her, I noticed Vera was out cleaning the flower beds by the small pond. Jackie had sent me a really cute picture of John Patrik playing in a box and we ended up having a nice visit.  If I could figure out how to get the picture from the phone to here, I would have included it!  When I finished talking, I went out and started setting the stones of the path into the ground and leveling them.  Looking at the picture the two on the left don't look level, but I checked them with a level, maybe I will check them again tomorrow.  After I finished that, I spaded up the bed where we had a wild flower mix last year, in a couple of days, I will run the rototiller over it.
I have been eyeing the lawn for a week or two, so when I finished the flower bed, I got the mower out and started in.  The sprinkles held off until I finished.  We made a run to the post office and picked up dinner at BK.  I went out to take pictures of our work after dinner.
Once I had my pictures of the flower bed and lawn, I started taking pictures of the flowers.  I have a nice batch of Easter lilies right in front of the shop, we never pick them and they have really multiplied!  I went out and put in three flights on the little helicopter and one on the Champ after I finished taking pictures.  Before coming in for the night, I got a little digital multimeter repaired so I can keep it in the house for checking batteries.  It is beginning to feel like I am going to sleep good tonight after all that exercise!
