Memorial Day Home Improvement Projects

I imagine that I am just one of many homeowners who have spent their Memorial Day working on a home improvement project.

I have heard a number of my neighbors mowing and trimming.
I have noticed new flowers in some yards.
And next door to us is a new raised bed that will soon be providing fresh vegetables.

My home improvement project
However,
is a bit more daunting.


I am finally getting my long awaited for natural rock retaining wall.
It's a vision I have had since signing homeowner papers in 2006.
It's a project that we started 3 years ago.
And today...
I feel we are finally making progress.
It was going quickly with just 2 of us.
It picked up speed with 3 of us.


Then the guys got sidetrack by the call of the Disc Golf Course.

I can't blame them,
It's a gorgeous day.

Progress is much slower with just me though.

But after just a few short hours I can see significant progress.
I am ever hopeful that this will be the year that I get the wall finished.

I think I have been quite patient,
And I have to do something with this pile of rocks!
