have added sweeping the stepping stones to my morning routine…
the darn birds and bunnies continue to have dust baths and since I have been barefoot outdoors for the last while, the clumps of dirt are irritating my feet, lol…

the weather has really gotten fall-ish…
this afternoon my grandson arrived to finish a few jobs around the yard, including putting away the lawn furniture and then he and his friend replaced the sidewalk stones along the front flowerbed… they had sunk way down into the grass over the years….
this is going to make walking from the driveway to the house much more stable and it will also be way easier to shovel once the snow arrives…

well, what a day… the workers were here for eight hours and got a huge amount of work done… I took a few photos before they arrived…
the cedars were trimmed… the wooden path in the shade garden was removed and replaced with patio stones, which were lifted from the remainder of the garden…
extra stones and the old wooden path were placed neatly beside the garage for a future project…
a portion of the lawn was levelled… soil was put down, tamped and covered with grass seed…
the rain held off all day as clouds came and went, which meant it wasn’t too hot for the workers…
there is still a small pile of soil, but that may go into the flower beds or be used to level out the front yard;-)…
a few pieces of work still need to happen, but it is going to look great once the grass comes up…

walked around and reviewed the work that needs to happen on the weekend…
soil will be delivered… all of the stepping stones are going to be lifted and soil and grass seed put in their place…
in the side garden, the wooden path will be removed and the stepping stones that were taken up in the main area will be used to replace the wooden path…
this will be a bit sad as my beloved laid all of these paths but it is time to change it up… right now many of the spots are tripping hazards as they have sunk a lot…
any leftover soil will go into the various beds and pots around the space… hoping that the two yards of soil is just the correct amount…
