Hope all moms enjoyed a fantastic Mother's Day (especially our own!).
Chris and I had the pleasure of hosting our friends, Jaime, Marisela and their daughter, for the weekend who were visiting from California. We took advantage of the perfect weather and enjoyed Mother's Day brunch in our in-progress backyard.
After we said good-bye to our friends, Chris and I
picked up where we left off last week and made a little more progress in the backyard.
Now our neighbor's garage is no longer growing trees from its gutter.
Chris also mowed down the area on the side of our house. We were curious to see if it might be a good spot to put our patio table.
Wait, what's this?
It looks like a flagstone paver...
It is! and we found many more!
I bet we could use them to do something pretty cool back here...

Looks like a beautiful day for a brunch in the yard - the weather here was great too. And free flagstone pavers from your yard - that is a nice discovery!
Great discovery! It's always fun to find something for free! Looks like you had a beautiful day!

your own buried treasure!!!
Wow!! Awesome discovery!! And I love your table set up back there for breakfast with your friends amidst the trees - so pretty!
Brunch outside sounds awesome! Your backyard is looking very quaint. I like it. Mine needs some quaint. I should get on that...or I could just keep reading blogs.
Awesome discovery! That's so fun! Can't wait to see what you do with them. Your backyard is looking so good!
Lucky you - what a great find. It is going to turn into something fab with the two of you doing all that work.
Quite a find. Hard work but those things cost a fortune if you were to buy them new!
Those stones are such a great find! I love your site, I'm a DIYer as well and am always looking for tips!
Nice find! Love it when that happens. I feel certain you will do something amazing with those pavers.
Sweet find on the pavers! It's going to be so wonderful out there!
Awesome find! Can't wait to see what you do with them!
free flagstone pavers!!! yay!! i can't wait to see what you do with them..wasn't the weather amazing on Saturday??!
Great find! All we ever dig up is weeds! :)
I love eating outside. We don't really have a space yet but sometimes we eat on our pool deck. :) Can't beat free stones!
I love all the surprises you find when you live in an old home!!!
What an awesome surprise and pavers at that. Maybe next time you will strike gold :) Mandy
Those pavers are the best! Thick and expensive. What a great find. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
I can't believe you found flagstone pavers. That's too awesome. It's looking really nice in your yard!
Dying to see what you do with those pavers. And the backyard is looking so great! Also so nice that we had good weather this weekend. Sounds like it was a great one for you!
Sounds like a terrific weekend, Brunch with friends, a little yard work and buried treasure...it doesn't get much better than that. I know you will find a great use for your new found flagstones, I cant wait to see what you do with them.
Hey!! Glad you had a good time with your friends! Eating outdoors is always a special experience!
Don't worry about Brimfield! You/we will get there sometime:)
I think next year I'd like to have mothers day brunch at my house. It looked like you guys had a beautiful time. How gorgeous was the weather here in ct ?!
The pavers sure were a wonderful surprise. It was a perfect weekend and now we are enjoying the much-needed rain.
Yeah, we made the blog! It was the best mother's day EVER. Thank you both so much for an incredible time.
I can't wait to see the side yard transformation. Those flagstones are awesome.
Holy crap! free flagstone! that's better than finding a diamond ring or some silly thing like that! I've seen the finished product and they cleaned up great!
