It's Spring

Hi everybody!  Rocks can be beautiful when placed right with the right plants imho.  I was just horrified when I found out that my dh paid $500 for some rocks to be delivered for some rock steps for our side yard.  Never thought it would cost so much!  And that delivery didn't include setting the rocks.  My dh used a backhoe or bobcat or something to do that.  He's in construction, so we've really had a full size backhoe in our yard - I just can't remember what equipment he used to move the rocks.  He's a real go getter and so good to me.
Go rocks!  Especially when they have ponds and waterfalls around them.  We dug a lot of rocks out of our yard, too, b/c we had our house built and they left a lot of rocks in the ground.  Not boulders, small enough to dig out.  What a pain!  I don't like those kinds of rocks.
Can't wait to see Laurie's finished project!  Bet it will be amazing.  (No pressure, Laurie.)
Hugs, Hope

I'm excited the rocks were delivered today, and they should be set in place come Monday.. I'm a little concerned about the ones that dh wanted near the house.. I hope it looks ok cause they are to big to move to a different spot without winning the lottery first :)

Hope

Hope we get to see the finished project!   ;D

If we had plentiful rocks like every other part of the world I'd be happy.  The do look good.. I need to find a day to go out and find some New Zealand Flax for the front area.. I think it will grow there are I don't get a lot of sun.... hopefully the agave, yucca garden will be finished soon.. all it needs is mulch ... always little projects waiting for us each spring

For real? OMG, I can't wait.

Me too HB.  I'm hoping that means the mustache too!

And those chin hairs that I feel like I pluck daily. LOL.

Pooh

OMG!  I can so relate.  I pluck those in the morning, and then they spring up again at night.  It's a never ending battle of taming the chin forest.

Hahahahahahaha, I've begun waxing my chin and lip at home.  Tired of paying someone 40 bucks to do it.

What do you use, Pam? My mom and I are thinking about doing a spa night, but if you do recall I'm the one that used paint thinner to get excess wax off when I fixed my bikini line at 16. I gotta make sure it works before we try it. LOL.
