She's a brick house

I've been working on overhauling my yards from top to bottom this Spring with the help of my friend Scott. Aside from clearing out all the beds from leaves, weeds, and overgrown ivy, he suggested I really continue the red brick edging I have in both front and back yards. But where was I going to get more bricks? If memory served they only come in huge pallets of 200 or so, way more than I calculated I needed. I need 50 or 60 at most. I posted a notice on Nextdoor.com, a community newsletter and bulletin board. Coincidentally my next-door neighbor Dan saw my posting and said our other neighbor Ron across the street from me had a pile of bricks he wanted to get rid of. He contacted him and just like that I had my bricks! It must have been the positive energy I was putting out into the universe for them to land right in my lap. It was just enough to finish all the beds and the brick path on the side of the house. Best of all was the cost. FREE is always the best price.
