Correction

I was corrected today about the Bees. My sis Sam, is NOT afraid of BEES! (You should see her flower garden). It's people - not Bees! My mistake and apologies to the "Tender of Life".

Love you Sammy!

Quiet on the front today....

Jason's bachelor party was held last night. No workers showed up today (go figure- ha!), except for the Vision Master who can get by on a few hours of sleep and yes, is on a Mission!

All Hail the Vision Master!

Who doesn't love a Pig???

When we realized that the woodpile was going to be smack dab in the middle of the seating arrangement for the wedding, the decision was made to move it. Oh geez, do we have to move all those logs by hand??? No, we'll try to move it with the "Pig". If that doesn't work, we'll just use our muscles. Oh, Rusty, thank you for your skill in using the Pig!!!

Just about done threading the cable through the posts. Looking good and reducing the liability for the wedding celebration!!

Time for Jason to sow his wild oats...

If the paver driveway took us 3 months, why did this little patio only take them 2 hours? Proportionally, it doesn't make sense to me. Then, I figured out that these 3 guys have worked hand in hand for the last few months. Talk about are a well oiled crew.

Seeding this area 4 weeks out....we're prayin' for grass!

Jason and Bandit sowing their wild oats... Well, Jason, I guess, you're entitled. You ARE getting married in a few weeks!

Beggy....

B&B (Becky and Bandit)

Tending the ivy on the wall, after sweeping sand into the brick pavers for about 2 hours. (yes in that small area - do you think she was milkin' it...?)

Another weekend in the sun...

Terry and Ethan re-do the paver area that sunk about 1/8th of an inch.

I said, "Terry, there's so many other things to do. And for the love of Pete, who will even notice that this area is a tad lower???" I should have anticipated his response. "It'll bother ME honey, I'll notice it!" A true perfectionist.

I can't lay pavers, but I can do assembly work. Well, kind of. I'm not really good at puzzles. Note that I am putting the metal piece on the wrong way once again.

I swear the well will be dry by summer's end with all the watering of the yard, gardens, potted flowers, planting new grass and power washing the deck! (and I'm not hosin' ya!)

Bees

One of my biggest fears about the wedding is the bees. (Apparently, I'm the only one who has this fear - FREAK!!) But, you know, end of August, beginning of September, when you try to eat dinner outside and the bees are all over you and your food? And yes, they are nasty.

Well, look what we found in a tree near the driveway:

See that scary looking eye looking at you from the evergreen? It's a bald faced hornet nest. Hundreds of those evil little things fly in and out all day. But thanks to "The Bee Guy" (http://www.thebeeguy.com/), the nest has been shut down. That will help. Oh, ya, the other thing that will help is don't wear perfume or eat food outside. Oh, ok - that will work for the wedding... So if you can't find me, I'll be hiding out in the house snarfing one of the best spreads provided by Haute Taco. (Most likely with my sis, Sam - she's a freak about bees, too!)
