Day 189 CJSM


Day 189

 

 

Laying the flat rocks around the big tree on

Park Street to create a raised flower bed

 

 

 Whatever I “know” in this life, I learned with “hands-on” experience.

 Our first real house, as opposed to the tailer and the basement apartment, came when we graduated college and got “real” jobs with a “real” bank mortgage.

416 Park Street in Waterloo was that property. We did some cosmetic “fixing-up” and bought furniture to fill the rooms. Quaint! I built a patio under an enormous Lindenwood.  utilizing large limestone flat stones I appropriated from creeks, old foundations and anywhere I might find one or two. Around the large shade tree I built a rock wall for a round flower bed. It was my “start”.

 We lived there three years and then moved to our “ten-acre estate” with the awesome view.

 

Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet :flower bed” Memories!
