More of this weekend's projects...

The second of the bigger projects for this weekend is done.  It kicked my butt!  But I won...more or less.  I am a little concerned about the tree liking to spit out little sprouts all over the darned place.  That would be annoying.  Guess we'll see.
Anyway...here's the blow by blow.  :-)

Plot out my edge - learned that from watching a lot of HGTV and DIY Network.

Digging out the flowerbed.

I'll have you know those bricks were a pain in the rear.

Ta da!  And with luck the alyssum will grow.

Now like yesterday I am nursing back pain, but added bruised knees, a blister on my right thumb, and just a little bit of sunburn.  Was very happy to shower, put on comfy pjs, and sit down on the sofa with no intentions of moving (except to make dinner).
