I Made a Frigg'n Wall

The other night, as Kate and I were sitting at the dinner table enjoying the Fois Gras Duck Bleu Au Gratin Flambe that Kate had prepared, she was like "I've been thinking. Nothing says lovin' like some good old fashioned masonry."

To prove my undying and true Love, I went straight out and ordered a giant palette of stones and began work on a stone wall to beautify our front "yard."

Here's some before and after pics!

And the Pièce de résistance is that I took our solar lamps and built them into the wall to illuminate the patio walkway at night:

Yay for rocks!

Hot fun in the summer time, that's what we've been up to. Grandma and grandpa (Cole's Gogo and Grampa Bill respectively) have come to town. Good times galore...

We got together with our fun new cousins again!
