backyard day 3: tuesday

so, so, so windy.  it literally blew 10-20 mile/hour winds all.day.long.  it never stopped.  we weren't wearing sunglasses to block the sun, but the sand and dirt and rocks from being blown in our eyes.  i don't think david was even listening to anything on his headphones, i think he was just trying to keep the dirt out of his ears... and the temperature dropped about 20 degrees that day.  you can see the rock crazy starting to set in:  david wore shorts and a t-shirt all day long.  

david spent the day prepping the second retaining wall.  hard, hard, hard work.  he spent it pick axing through all the layers of river rock, and got pretty down in the dumps.  it's hard going back to prep work after seeing a wall go up so fast the day before.




i spent the whole day making the flagstone patio.  we'd fill the wheelbarrow full of flagstone, roll it down to the stairs, then walk/throw each piece down to the patio area.  so, so beat at the end of the day.  i thought all day of our neighbors around the corner--they bought a lot and are building their whole house from bottom up.  oh.man.
