I'm loving this weather--beautiful November days and temperatures in the 60s this week call for working outside. Traipsing around town looking for brick, carefully not overloading the van, and then placing it around some flower beds have kept me busy. I need more brick and may run the ad again in the newspaper. Folks have been so kind. I even met a lady yesterday who offered me flowers (if I dug them) and three birdhouses in her backyard (if I'd come and take them down). Sounds like I might make a deal with her.
Here's the new flower bed by the dinner bell. (You can see some of the fertilizer we added from the local horse stables that will make a great planting bed come spring.)
These brick are the older ones that are solid; I really like this kind rather than the 3-holed ones. Now I'm working on completing another bed and will probably need even more brick - got any? This may be the last of the good weather before winter sets in. I'm going to make every minute count!

Sounds like you're having fun, Deb! I missed fall, and I missed fall!
Hope you find all the bricks you need.

Isn't it strange - here we are, many many miles north of you, yet we are enjoying almost the same type of weather!! It's a little odd - we are planning to do some garden work tomorrow as well. I'm behind in garden tidy up.

Woweeee, you have been busy. I have been so complacent about my yard since fall set in. I will regret it come spring. If it stops raining, I may try to make use of this warm springlike day. Your brick looks great and it's so nice that people want to help out and, of course, you're helping them, too.

It's true, I think that today will be our last day of somewhat pleasant weather. "Chilly" begins tomorrow. :o)
