Arbor & Gate Part II

 One arbor/gate down... one to go. But first, I need to move that rock wall out of the way.





 Andrew's Christmas gift, a pickax, on her maiden voyage.
 As an Industrial Engineer, I should have know probability was going to catch up with us at some point. It was the eighth out of eight posts that we hit a rock.

 Trouble smashed the crocuses on her way to the catnip.
 Sorry for the detour, but I had to capture the last one still standing.

 Finally, someone took a picture of me! I look like such a professional in my mechanics' gloves.


 This is as far as we got on Saturday.

 I took the wall apart while Andrew rebuilt it.



 We made one trip to the  town highway department to get some compost to fill in the newly expanded garden. We'll have to make another trip to fill in the rest.
 Here's the mostly finished product. In addition to another load of compost, we need six more boards for the sides of the front arbor.
Time to plant some morning glories and clematis.
