Lull

The intense activity seems to have passed.

The retaining wall is complete and is almost exactly what I had pictured it would be. The wood framing is done on the steps. I'll try to take a couple of pictures tonight.

My landscaper is a very hands-on type of guy. I see him here and there, working along with his crews in the various yards. He always has muddy, filthy hands and usually a dry, cracked lip. But it's obvious that he loves getting dirty and doing the work himself. That's the kind of guy you WANT to be your landscaper!
