Sunny and warm. Bi-annual Manitoulin Trade Fair in Little Current, just as an outing. (Delicious grilled sausages for lunch there, btw.) Scenic back roads home.

Then, with the trailer hooked up, south-west to Foxtower Road (just a little ways towards Gore Bay beyond the dump and down Pleasant Valley) where we muscled up a load of limestone flags (some with coral fossils still attached) that had been scraped up from the escarpment as part of a drainage ditch improvement project.

Finished porch, awaiting grandkid-made pendants which will be hung from the cedar slab above the couch.

New flagstones in rough position prior to digging in.

The idea behind the new stone path is that it should be possible to walk barefoot from the front deck or from the sandbox, or really all around the house, without it feeling like you are walking on a bed of nails.
