the pix uploaded out of order ... but ...

we had taken out a raised flower bed at the farm a decade ago and the blocks were in a "pile" ... Nick and Lee picked them up and took them to the cabin ... I joined them and we stacked a temporary wall to stabilize the bank in case a "monsoon" arrived .. then they put down plastic and landscape fabric to hold the black dirt in place -- again, planning for a future monsoon.  

we weren't thinking clearly -- or the block would have been out there when the skid loader dude was there .. Nick/Lee .. wheeled them down the steps with a cart .. dumped and I stacked .. 

it's a start -- more landscape blocks got ordered from Menards last night ... 

so the plan was to leave for Texas on Wednesday -- and when that trip got cancelled - I thought I would take a couple of days off -- so far .. I've taken 2 hours off -- the phones are wild, people are freaking nuts . and the emails don't seem to ever stop.  never stop.  over 600 "important" emails this week .. on the flip side we're pretty caught up on the other "stuff" .. the scanning project is done -- moved an entire file cabinet (empty) to the garage and the great "re-arrange the file room" has begun.
