A busy day outside

✿     ✿     ✿     ✿

We had a lovely visit with David, Hannah, and Charlotte.  I liked Hannah right away and we got along great.  She even went with me on my morning walk on Saturday.  Only 3.3 miles because we did more talking and looking at birds than walking. : )
Her daughter Charlotte is 5 years old and a delightful child.  Not a shy bone in her body and she is so smart.  She loved Ken's trains and even ran them with the controller!!
We look forward to their next visit.

A perfect morning for a walk today.  51 degrees and sunny.  I walked first to the library and dropped off a book in the slot and then on to the post office to mail off a birthday card.

Walked all over town this morning, up and down all the streets as well as both cemeteries and the ball park loop.

Kathy once out again and I saw Mike walking and two young ladies running.

Walked 6 miles.
Found a dime and a penny.

This morning we went to Lowe's to get dirt and sand for the other two raised garden beds.  We use a cement mixer to mix the dirt, sand, peat moss, and vermiculite. 

 Ready for planting.  

After supper I planted eggplant in one and bell peppers in the other.

These other raised beds are Ken's garden and he is going to plant tomatoes and lettuce in them.  We have started all our plants this year from seeds.

After we finished with the beds we went up to Happy Trails and crushed some rock with our rock crusher.  I never get tired of throwing rocks in it and watching them get crushed.

We put some of the crushed rock on the ramp that leads up to the rock crusher.

Took quite a bit crushed rock home too and also harvested some more flat stones for the patio back at the house.  It is coming along nicely and should be finished soon.  I'll post a picture of the progress in the next day or so.

After all our work today we treated ourselves to a supper out at Brenda's of pizza.

The weather for this first day of Summer was perfect.  Sunny, in the 70's with a breeze.

Hope your day was a happy one.
