A remarkably pleasant day; no humidity; lower temperature!! First two pictures show the area before current project. ~~ I don’t know where to attribute the credit but I’ve always believed in “I can.” I’ve enjoyed so many projects through the years because I accepted the challenge and–with time and patience–worked it through. In my humble opinion, this looks so good I plan to buy at least fifteen more paving blocks. In my minds-eye, I see a section of the patio extending out to the fountain. I’ll wait a while (I think).

There’s a proper way to bury electric lines.

Follow the instructions; don’t imitate my “make due” project.

Speaking of “make due”: The fountain is there because I’ve covered an ugly tree stump. **If** I could call on Maintenance for assistance, we’d wrap a chain around the dead rotten stump and pull it out with a truck. I’d fill the hole with dirt and display the fountain elsewhere in my yard. There’s an old saying: If wishes were horses then beggars would ride; If wishes were fishes, we’d have some fried.

Perhaps I’ll move the planter–with Bluebird house–to cover the stump?? (That planter has a cement block supporting the bird house, and lots of soil. It will be a struggle to move it!!) The Facility Director recently informed me that my site stops with the tree line; I can’t have planters in the field.

Note: In fairness to management and maintenance, I’m the only CARE resident with a yard “full of stuff.”
