How cool was that!!!! Do you know what I loved in this little video, the chickens following you all over. :-)

To see the gazebo plopped down onto it's new base which is surrounded by flowers is really amazing. Like I said in my last comment, it looks like it has always been there.

Great job, all of you! FlowerLady

Oh my goodness, you folks sure do stuff quickly in your neck of the woods! I'm amazed that the gazebo was set down so gently that the flowers in front were intact at the end. Amazing. Ashley, Gloria, and Sarah stole the show with their antics! What fun this was to watch! Thank you!

This was great fun to watch. Sorry your Mom was not present but she was there in spirit, cheering you along! I love how you had planted everything last fall I think so it looks like the plants were always there! Kudos to the production team, advisors, foreman/architect/builder and all involved.
Perhaps a gazebo christening/moving party is called for? Thanks for the video. It has given me ideas.

Seeing chickens going to work, pecking away at the newly exposed area just cracked me up!

Karen said...

Rainey, thank you! The Girls are very industrious, aren't they?

Karen said...

Peter, yes, it was really amazing to have daffodils still waving in the breeze after we set the gazebo down. True 'instant gratification'. The Girls were excited to help. :-)

Ann, I think it was the most satisfying job we've ever done around here, to tell the truth. We were all happy with the end result, and that doesn't happen all the time. I do feel close to Mom when I'm in the garden. :-)

chavliness, I know, the Girls are super-workers, I wish I had their energy. I'd love to put a pedometer on them and see their mileage by the end of the day. :-)

Very cool Gazebo-moving video -- that's not something you see every day! :-) I'm glad you were able to move it a more advantageous spot -- I hope you enjoy having it there. Best, -Beth
