Well I will try to catch up on all that has gone on since the last post. After we got back from Cisco camp, Tim and I got busy building things. We started with making a new pen for the dogs and then built a rock patio. We had dug up lots of flat rock buried at least 4 inches deep with dirt that was once a walkway around the house. We called my Uncle Ricky and he told us how to lay a rock patio. We had a dump truck of sand delivered and got right on it. About 3/4 of the way thru we ran out of rock and had to go look in the pasture to find more rock. Lastly, we poured the mortar and we were done. Then 2 hours later, we got 3 1/2 inches of rain. It washed a little of the mortar out, but held up fairly well and we will always take rain.

Finally finished
It is a little uneven, but for first time rock layers, I say we did a good job. Since Tim helped me with the patio, we then began redoing fences and building feed troughs for calves. We got most of it done, but still have not finished it.
