Today's Work Day

I arrived early to mark out where we were going to put our fence. I thought the weather was going to scare folks away, but that wasn't the case at all! Thanks so much to the Puddy's, the Hill's and the Knighton's for all the help.

I learned a few valuable lessons as well. Firstly, when you're mentally calculating how much fencing your going to need, double it. It worked out, though, as we got to do the weeding that so desperately needed to be done. Secondly, it's extremely difficult to lay out a fence in a straight line when the ground is full of fairly large rocks. Thirdly, when you attempt to drive a metal fence post through a rock, the rock wins. Still, half the garden, the side that was the recipient of so many soccer balls lately, is now fenced. The other side will be next weekend.
