what's the problem?

We finished the back yard hardscaping project quite a while ago, and we have a problem.

Remember this project?

before

The work wasn't a problem

It was challenging and satisfying work

There were no problems with the preparing of ground

There were no problems with the distribution of rock material

There was no problem finding cheap labor

Or gettin' er done

It wasn't even a problem that we had surplus decomposed granite. We simply carried it around to both the side and front yards.

The problem was not placement of stepping stones.

Although....

The problem is not the assembly of the new swingy swing thing

We knocked that sucker out in no time.

No problem

The problem is not in the liking of this yard.

We love it!

The problem isn't these gorgeous cacti that we inherited from the next door neighbor

Although we suspect that the cacti have been a problem for certain big dumb dogs who don't learn the first time, and whose eyes are currently swollen nearly shut....

No.

The problem is that I fit perfectly on the bench.

It is exactly Jacquie sized

My feet rest right up against the support bar, so with almost no effort whatsoever I can swing.

I can go back and forth or to and fro

So I do

And therein lies the problem

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I keep falling asleep and losing my place in the book.
