In addition to moving, cleaning and "redoing" parts of the old house, there are projects at the new house Mama and Papa want done. So today, taking advantage of a surprisingly cool day, David and I built an arbor. Well, the first part, anyway, which involved renting a power auger, moving dirt around, tarring, mixing cement (660 lbs!) and lots of getting very dirty. All of which you can see in fast-moving 49 seconds:
Benji, our neighbor's dog, makes a couple of brief appearances (hoping for treats, no doubt), along with Mama, taking stock of the change to her yard and Papa at the beginning, surveying the bare spot, for the last time.
