Last Day

Here are the photos we found on Eric’s camera. They were taken in downtown Granbury, Texas the morning of August 30th.

Garden Party III -fine tuning and fine dining

You guys are great!

Who would’ve believed that, with all those roots and rocks, the yard would ever be ready for a lawn.

Good Job!

Thanks to Megan for the tasty BBQ too.

Garden Party II -getting to the roots

Who knew they went so deep? Here are the photos of Eric’s friends ripping the roots out of the garden.

Thanks again for all your help.

Landscape Plan

Here is the plan for Eric’s garden. Many thanks to everyone who donated.

Garden Party

A great big Thank You goes out to all the folks that Eric worked with at:

Beginning at 7:30 on Saturday morning, the crew was there to pull out the old sprinkler systems, rocks and roots from Eric’s front yard in preparation of all the new plants that will be going in next week.

As you can see from the photos, kids of all sizes and ages helped out.

Eric’s cat, Elmo, was there to survey the progress from many vantage points.
