Remember when I spent hours weeding awhile ago? Well compared to today's outdoor activities, weeding was as easy as chillin' outside working on my tan.
We spent most of this hot day sweating and labouring under the burning sun (does anyone feel sorry for me yet? :P) Seriously though, there is nothing like rolling up your sleeves and getting into some hard work. Lewy and I set our sights on our back yard today. If you are wondering what has happened to our magical wilderness... it has gone. Not the magic, just the wilderness. :)
Replacing it is nicely mowed lawn/weeds/dirt in which Lewy is making his mission to bring back to a beautiful green patch of grass for the boys to play on. With this in mind, we spent the day building a brick ledge around the grassed area.
We used a pile of spare patio pavers that were around the side of the house (from when the house was originally built), and the paint that we used to re-paint the patio... painting was my job, and Lewy dug the trench to put them in. Work got hardcore at one point, when we had to cement in the pavers in one section. ;))
While Lewy and I worked, this is what the boys did. Whose job would you prefer?!
