Wall is mostly completed

The wall came down after I patched it seven years ago with simply stacking the stones. At the time I predicted a lifetime of five to ten years. Pretty accurate.

This time I dug a foundation filled withe our own gravel and build it with mortar. Decent backfill and some drainage. I am sure it holds for ten if not twenty years.

And by the way, Fall colors are awesome in MA.

Regatta Time – Lowell, MA

The first heat was a massive win by the Arlington Novice eight… Gisele caught a huge crab in the main race, and they went from first to second to last. Gisele was furious and sad with herself. A bathroom incident was reported :-).
