Graham rented equipment and purchased plumbing supplies to renew the sewer pipes out to the street
WOrk was completed and all well.
But the front yard, although the six foot long trench was filled in, was not resodded.
For some reason, about half of the yard , the sod. of the existing front yard, was taken off
Now mid July, sod of the front yard not yet redone.
Well of course, it bothers me.
So I finally although the ground is not level enough, decided to try and do it myself
Is a big job to do To big for me, really
And now is not done correctly really Should be more level at least
But,
none the less I am getting it done
BOught some sod for part of the work and seed for the remainder.
Now have put down all the sod I am going to do.
Have reseeded some of it and fund a seed mix that works Bought more yesterday to finish it up So hopefully by September I will have a lawn that is nice and green, if not level
We had Emma jeanne out here for a weekend Was nice to have her for a visit and the first timee she has been here on her own
She pointed out a neat thing to me. I had bought six wooden, (I don't know what kind of wood but light) leaves painted green, like pond lilies. Each had a magnet on them Now I was not sure what the magnet was for But, Emma Jeanne new right awaya nd put them in the little pond along the driveway Where they where just perfect.
We bought a dozen gold fish to put in that pond as well She carefully looked after them all weekend and fed them.
Laura, Emma Jeanne and i did some sewing making doll outfits sort of I had bought this box of material and a little dress form which we used.
And she tried her hand at knitting
Was frustrating, as it is, for her. But she was almost getting it If we kept going at it a couple more times she would have the gist of it and perhaps take an interest in knitting At least at some time.
Then Zack, Laura and I went up to Sudbury to see the university and have a tour of it.
Was quite interesting for sure. We stayed two nights there when one night would have been enough. Had thought we might do more or Zack might like to do more at the university But that did not seem to work out so much
Is so it seems, that at this age and time in his life he is spending to much time on the internet be it with friends, or games or what.
A very social person he is.
As was his Mother before him.
One of several interesting things that occurred was a meeting and conversation in a little restaurant in a town I just now forget the name of SOme little off the road spot on the drive home With a gentleman from Kitchener He was going to go canoeing no sailing for I think it was a month Quite an interesting person to talk with..................................
I am up to early since about 4:30 am Today is the communities in bloom lunch and get together for Barrie.
As well the Royal family of WIlliam and Katherine delivered a new baby boy to their family and the world, yesterday or maybe it is now, actually the day before. Un named as of yet but soon to be
