Hot and dirty!! For many hours I was working with cement. True story: I’ve planned to purchase two eighty-pound bags of Quikrete (at $4.19 per bag at Lowe’s)–to prepare “pilings” for the proposed shelter. Suddenly, Sunday afternoon, I became aware that concrete would be delivered–and poured–at CARE, on Monday morning. I hastily prepared and nested empty bird seed bags in my large plastic containers. (When the concrete is dry, we’ll slide it out of the pail. I don’t want to sacrifice my good pails!!) It was my hope, and prayer, I could obtain some “left over” concrete–because it would save me so much labor. ~~ Yesterday, one and one-half pails–a good start!! By eleven-thirty today, I had two full… and three partial. I planned to buy an eighty-pound bag to top the three partial containers. (See next to last picture.) Out-of-the-blue, very unexpectedly, the owner/supervisor arrived at my door with a wheelbarrow full of concrete. “Where do you want it?” I showed him my project and he “topped” the three… and sat and visited with me for about ten minutes. I’m so delighted with his thoughtfulness!! ~~ In the last two pictures, note the area to the left of the five containers. That is where David and I will eventually construct the shelter, with camouflage tarp, storage area. (Everything easy to disassemble [when I die] so the next resident can have a “naked”–no maintenance–yard.)
