Took a cell phone pic last night. All the rocks have been moved. I ended up doing it all with a shovel and a broken wheelbarrow. I think we need about 5 tons more for the front. But the big pile is gone.
Still have sod to put in and some cleanup work on the edges. The sprinklers are all done. We are also doing a small path with paver stones.
My birthday was pretty fun. We went out to a late lunch with my parents and grandma to Farmer’s Inn in Lasalle.

Then, later that evening we went out to the Rio in downtown Greeley for some margaritas and live music. There was a reggae band and it was pretty cool.

Britton and I got our tarot cards read from a lady across the street. It was pretty accurate including that we had some “delays” (AKA Puerto Rico). Since it was my birthday, she gave me a tarot card to keep. I pulled the King of Cups which means I have one or more strong, supportive and loving men in my life (both my dad and Britton). She said I was the Queen of Pentacles and good with money. Together we (the King of Cups and Queen of Pentacles) work well together.

We had made plans to go out salsa dancing and meet some friends over at St. Michaels’ event center, so we headed over there around 8 or so. When we got there it became apparent that we had left a pretty cool party with live music for one with only about 20 people sitting around listening to a dj, so we went back downtown.

We danced to the reggae band and my friends dedicated a song for my birthday. We stayed there until it closed and then headed across the street to the Penalty Box and hung out there for a while more. It was a very fun birthday.

I threw out a watermelon rind for the chickens and they went over to munch on it. I tried to get a picture, but when I got close, they would scatter, so I layed in the grass and watched. Kitty mosied on over and sat right in front of me. So I got this great picture of the chickens in the background and Kitty in the foreground. The world is much different at ground level.

Then they got curious and wanted to see what I was doing in the grass, so I caught them on video as they wandered around the yard. They are getting so big! I remember when they were baby chicks and we could hold all three in our hands at once.
A few of Britton’s old high school friends (and now mutual friends) came in to town to visit from Oregon this weekend. We saw them on Wednesday and again on Friday night for Friday Fest with live music in downtown Greeley. Britton and I rode our bikes there, but when the rain storm rolled in, Britton offered to ride my bike and Matt rode Britton’s back to our place. It was pretty fun and reminded me of the days when we were young(er) in the summertime out with friends just floating along like a butterfly doing whatever we wanted. Plus it was great to get the gang all together again.
