Our Yard Rocks!

Tuesday Stoneys delivered 2 tons of large river rock for our front yard.

This is what 2 tons look like....not much!  But moving 2 tons feels like moving 2 tons!  If you get my drift!
It was not enough!

So on Wednesday, we got 4 tons of large river rock and 2 more tons of the next size down.  This is what 6 tons of rock looks like.  The sound is deafening when they dump it and look out for flying rocks.. Both Nate and Lyle got hit!   AND...Really fun to move!  NOT!


Here is after many rocks had been moved around the front yard.  Improvement!Lyle brought Clayton over to enjoy the show and watch us work!  It was a good outing for him.  But he was tired by 11:00 and I took him back to rest.Well, after moving about half of the pile, we decided to move the rest tomorrow morning when it is cooler and there is more shade on this west side of the house.  It was time to go in and have lunch!  Thanks Nate for all your help...even with the rickety old wheel barrow.

On a different topic, Yesterday, I applied to be a substitute for Kings County.  

I could not believe all you must do to qualify even after 36 years of teaching.  

I had to be fingerprinted...paid $46 to see if I was a criminal!  Duh!  They did not accept my originals from 33 years ago! 

After an hour of how to get your sub jobs on the Internet,  you get to watch videos from the 80's for safety training, reporting Child Abuse, and Workman's Comp.!   This process was from 2:00 - almost 5:00...3 hours!  

I guess the children of Kings County will be much safer now that I have put in 3 hours of sub training!

Oh, I forgot to mention the 10 pages of paperwork to fill out 

even after my school district sent over all my records!  

I was waiting for a call today to see if I did something wrong or forgot a signature on something....no call..... I guess I am in.  

Well, enough of this!
