Home improvement just in time for Mother's Day

We have been planning on adding concrete patios back and front for years. Well, this was the year to finally get it done! We met a man that could handle the job and with his son and 1 helper they have made that dream a reality. It was a treat to watch this man as he taught his son (who is 13) the procedure. It was encouraging to watch the time honored tradition of showing the next generation the skill of creating a masterpiece out of dirt and mud. We will enjoy them for many years to come.

These are the front walk, we decided to make it bigger than a sidewalk. I'm glad we did, I can think of alot of things to fill up that side seasonally :)

We won't have to rake and cut weeds that used to come up under the patio furniture anymore plus it should cut down on the amount of dirt that get's tracked in.

Angie picked out this plant for our new patio, I love climbers!

We had a good visit with Mike, Angie, and boys today and then I had a good visit with Crystal over the phone. It was a good Mother's Day - I am blessed...

P.S. They won again :(
