Today's theme for the Saturday PhotoHunt is HEAVY. Some time ago I could have done a self-portrait, maybe on the bathroom scales, but not now. Now I'm slim(ish) so it wouldn't work.
So I've gone back to work done late last summer.
We have a poorly-drained garden that turns to mud at every opportunity. Cutting the grass is a nightmare, as our (electric!) mower doesn't work well under water for some reason! Before the worst of the winter rains could begin we decided to make our long desired alterations to keep our feet as dry as possible. The first picture shows concrete blocks being carried from the delivery point at the front to an area inside the gate. They will eventually form the floor of a work shed and greenhouse. Those blocks were heavy!
The next two show the delivery of a tonne of pebbles. The delivery lorry found the load heavy.

That really looks heavy. The last house we lived in also was very wet, it's such a job trying to maintain it. Hope all your heavy work paid off. I thing the shingle looks great with the plants.

Those do look heavy, and hard work! Still worth it in the end by the look of the last picture.
Great Heavy (and hard work) for photo hunt.
Mac's Macro now showing.
Nice heavy entries. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
A good photo array displaying heavy and telling about your garden. It looks like it is quite beautiful by the last photo. I do know the heaviness of moving cement blocks and rocks
Wonderful photos for heavy. Thanks for stopping by the creek, and have a wonderful rest of the weekend.
That is heavy stuff but a great idea and it looks so attractive with the pebbles. Hope you have a great rest of the weekend.
Oh my family had a similar issue too. Not that the garden turns muddy, it's just that we keep our dog there and this fella keeps turning the garden upside down. @.@
Definitely heavy... wow. Great shots for the theme this week!
Heavily load of heavy pics! Good one
Pearl (thanks for dropping by)

I remember when we had put pebbles along our terrace, they were terribly heavy !
Oooo, that looks like a nice garden so guess all that heavy work was worth it, right? :)
that looks like quite a job! I am sure those bricks were very heavy!!!
Have a blessed day!
Heavy! Heavy! But that new space ought to be great, plus as you say keeping your feet dry. :-)
Very heavy load!! The patio looks nice! Thanks for stopping by my heavy post! I appreciate it!
That definitely is a lot of heavy lifting.
Those all look very heavy indeed! I'm glad it wasn't me doing it! :P
Even a kilo of those pebbles is heavy! I can't imagine how heavy that much is! The blocks are also heavy a piece.
Great take on the theme! Eat some fruits after lifting heavy stuff! Good day!
That is certainly some heavy work!

I like your take on the theme. Very heavy.
Great heavy choices! :)
I also like your narrow photos - as a matter of fact, I like your blog! But I'm in a hurry as always, so only one comment, sorry.... :(
Thanks for visiting - and have a great Sunday - well, what's left of it, anyway!
That looks like heavy work all the way around!
Those blocks look very heavy. I'll bet everything around your house looks nice now with all the pretty pebbles.
Thanks for visiting me and leaving a comment. Hope you will visit often.
Lots of heavy work there!
Have a great week ahead.
Whoa...very heavy!
Looks like a lot of heavy, back breaking work.
Indeed those are heavy!! We had to remove rocks just like that and lay pavers like that in our last house ourselves....never doing that again!
wow great pics! Very heavy work :)
All of those chores look heavy, but the end result was probably worth it!
Great pics for this week :)
Great take on the heavy theme....a lot of beauty came from the heavy yard/garden work.
Thanks for your visit...have a great new week!
Wow - what a project. Perfect photos for this week's hunt theme of heavy.
Thank you so much for sharing.
OMG, having done some landscaping in the past, I know how heavy those concrete blocks and all that stone can be!
great many heavy pics :)
Those are heavy indeed!
I am not capable of handling those heavy materials. I'm glad there are machines and tools made to help man take care of them.
Thanks for visiting mine.
Wow, your garden must have look wonderful after all those heavy work done!
Have a great week!
Your garden must look pretty neat now, after those heavy lifting and heavy work.
Have a great week!
Thank you all for your comments - I'm overwhelmed by all your visits. And in answer to your kind questions, I have to say that the garden is so much nicer now.
HOw did I manage to get so far behind over here? LOL! It's nice to see how it looked before. Makes me appreciate all the hard work it took to get the yard in shape. We had a load of pea gravel delivered once and had to move it the same way. And you are right. IT IS HEAVY! xoxoxo
