American Flag & Rose Garden
Being down and out for the last 4 months has been driving me NUTS! Since I have gotten the pins and external fixators out of my wrists I have been trying to do things around my yard and work on my motorcycle. Slowly I am being able to do a few more things, but at the end of the day, I hurt and regret getting out there and doing them.
Today was the “Blessing of the Bikes” in Gautier, MS and my wrists are really not ready for be to be out riding my motorcycle. So, I had to distract myself with something. I did that with my rose garden around my American Flag. This is what I started with…..
It took several hours to get to this point…..
That is half of the Weed-X fabric laid out. This wind was blowing pretty good and I had to shovel some of the mulch on top to hold it down. I had to take a break. My wrists and hands started to hurt.
The above picture is all the fabric laid out and just enough mulch on t to keep it all from blowing off.
Here is the somewhat finished product…..
I started at 0800 this morning and just finished it about half an hour ago, 8 hours later. I am hurting like hell and very tired. I wish I could have taken two days to get it done, I think my wrists would hurt less. But I am happy to see it finished. Well, it still needs a little more mulch and the fence needs to be straightened up some, but for today……I am done! And I am proud of it!!
