Finished...the...fence... aaaaaaarrrrggghhhhh! 125 feet of fence, 14 bags of slats... I think I'm going insaaaaaaaannnnnneeeee.
On the other hand, we were out at my sister's farm on Saturday to Sunday and we made trellises for the house (3 of them) and then we got to play with hypertufa.

Me and Bobby McGee sister D. making
hypertufa stuff at the farm. |
Hypertufa is a mix of cement, vermiculite and peat moss. You can shape it into a number of things. We made a few containers and balls, yes, I said balls, for me. Only the balls didn't work out too well. You see, you have to buy plastic inflated balls, like the ones kids play with, cut out a circle at the top and then fill it with hypertufa mix. Let harden and then voila... instant yard art.

We're going to try again and it's going to work and then I will post pictures of our fantastic results... I hope. Sister D. and her husband are delivering the trellises on Saturday. Did I mention that they are 8 feet tall and we don't own a truck? Anyway, Saturday is a very special day. I'll let you know how it went...
I bet you cannot GUESS what is happening on Saturday... You would have to go way back into my posts to find out what happened
roughly a year ago that was REALLY significant for me... and a couple or three other people...
