Backbreaking


On Saturday, Stuart and I moved over a ton and a half of rock into place for the lower set of front stairs. We spent a great deal of time shoveling dirt and gravel, too. Add to that a nasty fight or twelve with some tree roots the size of our forearms (or maybe the forearm of Loki, Stu?), and we had ourselves a mammoth day. Rachael kept things interesting when she disturbed a yellow jacket nest and collected three stings, including one right on her eyebrow.

Freakishly coincidentally, the Neander Games were held this past weekend at Rocky Butte in northeast Portland.

The plastic hanging over the porch was to keep falling tree debris off the freshly sealed decking.
