Today I (Dale) took over the stone-laying project after Leslie went to work. She has been getting up at 5:30 each morning this week, eating an early breakfast, then going outside at 6:00 and working two hours laying stones. Because she's not strong enough to handle the largest stones, she has been laying only those she could carry. It's hard work. So today I said I would tote the largest ones and put them in place where they were needed. In doing so I completed the area surrounding the fountain. By "completed" I mean only laying the stone; I will need to find the smaller stones to fill in the larger gaps. Here are a couple of photos of the area:

There is another area equally as large as the fountain area that now needs to be laid. I will be hauling the stones up to the area this afternoon. To do so requires a wheelbarrow and good legs to make it up the sloped driveway. It's sort of like working the blocking sled in football practice, you have to use your legs so much. But it's all good exercise.
I hope to have pictures of the completed area by day's end tomorrow.
