Building the Rock Wall

Well, it has been a rough week. I have been fairly absent from blogland. My sweet little grandma has been struggling to leave this life. She has suffered from dementia for at least three years and we all want her struggle to be over and for her to join her long-missed husband but it so hard to watch. She hasn't gone yet but we expect it this weekend. So I just haven't felt too chatty. But on the upside we have had some major changes going on in our backyard.

First this big-ole pile of rocks was delivered. Lots of king of the mountain was played.

Then the guys with the big machinery showed up. Could their possibly be anything better to a boy than having one of these in your own backyard?

And when it gets too noisy you can always hang out at the window and keep watching.

Here is the finished product.

From the other side. I can hardly wait to plant different colored flox in those little spots. It will be so pretty next Spring. Assuming we add the rest of the patio, the curbing, the sprinklers and the lawn. Sigh...
