In the back yard, doing stuff...

msfledermausI think I've decided I am indeed not sane in the head. I started my small patio-project yesterday afternoon. What was I thinking?
For starters, when I started to shovel and level out the patio area, I kept hitting tree roots. Well of course, there's a big honkin' tree right over the patio! It made it really hard to get the anchoring bricks to go deep enough, so many of them are higher than I'd like. But it's as deep as they go, because there's huge tree roots everywhere...meh!
Then of course I run out of the pretty scavenged stuff to put in the middle. Which means I have to scavenge more. With my little blue bucket. I think perhaps two more trips ought to cover it. Meh.
And of course, since I'm in the middle of the project, I feel self-conscious about the yard looking all muddy and torn-up. I shouldn't fret, really. I can finish the patio up today, because all the really hard stuff is all done now. But-but-but, what will the neighbors think? Meh...
I am really proud of all the work I did, but I hope the end result isn't a total trainwreck. Ah well...worst comes to worst, I can put down grass seed. A lot of grass seed. Meh...
