Good progress

We were so close to getting all the dirt removed for our xeriscaping that I was really motivated to get it all out Saturday. Our hard work has really started paying off... it looks great so far! We still have a lot of filling in to do and some other details to finish up, but I thought I'd share some pics of how it looks all dug out and at least a small layer of gravel installed over the area. I think I want to do a little of the other side of the sidewalk, too, now that I see how it looks. We'll see if the motivation continues :)




Besides working on this, our Memorial Day weekend was pretty relaxing. We canceled most of our plans due to the threat of rain, but didn't end up getting much. Oh well! Colten was supposed to have one last baseball game and closing ceremonies Sat, but the game got canceled and when we got there for the closing, it was pouring rain and hailing, so we turned around and came back home. That night we planned to go to the crawfish festival in Fredericksburg, but with the rain in the area, we decided not to go. Sunday afternoon we were going to do some skeet shooting, but it was thundering so we canceled that, too and just had some neighbors over for fajitas. We did manage to take the kids for pizza and a movie Monday so they were happy.
