Dean's getting close to automating the sprinklers though he keeps getting interrupted by the TO DO list I keep for him:

"Get me plants"

And 30 plants later we have the major plantings in place along the north and west sides
"Get me gravel"
And 4800 lbs later we have most of Wheelbarrow Lane

"Get me stepping stones"

repairing a garage door opener,
hanging pictures, replacing the windshield wiper motor on the old truck, cleaning gutters, rebuilding the lawn mower, cleaning the garage roof, mowing the lawn. Helping contractors find their way around. Getting the garage painted. I am sure there is more.
Busy guy. What would I do without him!

What have I been doing? planting plants, placing flagstones, raking gravel, weeding weeds, doing taxes, furniture shopping, unpacking boxes. And normal other stuff like cooking and cleaning and laundry....AND ADDING TO THE "TO DO" LIST!
