I Rock(ed)

 

And I am tired as heck of rocking.

Rocked out.

P1050106

I am done. Finished. Finite.

Finally. Now, I feel like rolling.

 

Partway through my rock excavation and plant ripping out, I decided to be proactive and I put down some weed barrier stuff. OMG…that stuff was a pain. But so are weeds.    (BTW this fabric is made from recycled water bottles)

OK the rules:

I don’t want to see any rocks nor do I want to hear any rock music.

I don’t want to have rock salt or rock candy.

I don’t want to visit Rock City.

I don’t want to know about the Rockettes.

Ok, I think that might be all I can think of.

Oh wait, this Rock…

the_rock_300 

Well, he is still A-OK in my book. *wink wink*

Ironically, the song stuck in my head as I wrapped this up yesterday: “don’t be fooled by the ROCK’S that I’ve got…I’m still, I’m still Jenny from the block…”

I am pretty sure J-Lo was discussing different rocks though.

Ok, here is the finished product:

The good news: the lanai is done.

The bad news: the house is a mess, ‘cause the domestic goddess turned into a rock goddess.

Oh, heck, who cares…

I have some empty chairs under the chicki hut…

And the term Frozen Concoction is coming to mind.

Happy Weekend everyone. Any plans?

Happy Mother’s day to all you Mom’s, Grandma’s, Aunts, fur Moms, Sisters, feminine men, …etc…you get the point.

If you nurture anything (except rocks) you are well deserving of a nice day.  How I adore a nurturer.

So, what time on Sunday should we expect you…unless you already have plans?

  17. You did a fabulous job – it's just gorgeous! I love the palapa and the spa…can I come and sit with you, the next time the temps here drop into the 30s (like they did THIS WEEK – in MAY!$%&#*)? At the very least, I can sit there in my mind, now that you've given us the visual. *sigh* So lovely.I hope that fence isn't for keeping 'gators out. Do you really have 'gators nearby?You have more talent in your pinky finger than most people have in all of them. Happy Mother's Day to you – one of the best nurturers of plants, animals and people I know!

  24. Wow – all your hard work looks great! Your lanai looks like it should be featured in a fancy home magazine :)I hope you have better luck with the weed barrier stuff than I did. I put it down under the gravel paths between my garden beds, and the weeds just grew right through it. You're right about that stuff being a pain, and for me the effort wasn't worth it at all 😦
