And friends and family of the soon-to-be wed couple turned out for another work day ...
Shrubs were pruned ...
Stepping stones were laid in place .. .. .
Potting soil was hauled . . .
Mulch was spread . . .
The new stone steps were surrounded with mulch and plants . . .
Gloating over progress took place . . .
Wine chilling in the branch . . .
LOTS of stepping stones . . .
I wimped out around three and went up to our house . . .
But I'm told that all the stones got set . . .
What a day! The temperature was in the low sixties -- amazing considering that we were covered in snow on Wednesday!

Yay for weather and work!
Beautiful! And how exciting for you all!
How beautiful everything looks. I hope this weather holds out. Everyone on this side of the mountain is more then ready for spring.
oh wow...how cool...and looks great as well...love the look of stone...and with the weather change cool to get together and do this as well...
Just gorgeous! The day. The landscaping. Will the wedding take place outdoors? What a perfect setting!
Weather willing, the wedding will be outside, Kath.
Simply beautiful! And working as a team what a souvenir.
You've got a great team that put together a little piece of heaven there!
We're in a thaw too, but nothing as glorious as 60 degrees. I imagine the wedding will be perfect in such a beautiful setting. And what a lovely reminder the stepping stones will be.
What an ambitious crew!
The results are, no doubt, stunning!
The sunshine! The sunshine!
I hope there is more than one bottle of wine in the creek. Given the number of workers and the difficulty of the work, it looks like a three-bottle job to me.
Oh, yes -- there were mimosas at the beginning of the day, beer all along, and a toast in bubbly at the end of the work. The picture of the bottle was taken by Cory, my "other son."
How exciting to see such fast progress - and to have a fine day for it.
Wow, that's a tremendous amount of work! Phew.
