So, obviously I'm not living up to my title of 'Daily' nesting on here, but I'll try to catch up! It rained for the past week here, so I've been surveying the way water runs in my yard;) I cannot wait to get gutters! It's funny the things that excite and interest me these days...like a moisture barrier for my crawl space or the right kind of weed killer for monkey grass or getting my termite bond done or how to go about making a new parking space...
I've made some progress in the back. Dug up all the terrible weeds that had taken over part of the fence line. And I transplanted some rose plants there and lots of bulbs. Oh the bulbs are everywhere! It seems everywhere I dig a little bulb(s) appears just waiting for its time to shine. I'm torn about where to plant them though. Because everything is in limbo with what to do and when I'm going to have help with some major jobs, a lot is on hold for now. I have a vision of the way I want it, I just have a few or several obstacles. I'm trying to relax and enjoy the slow progress and appreciate the journey. With some unique planters and whiskey barrels I want to make an entrance into the backyard. I'm thinking potted hydrangeas, boxwoods with some perennials mixed in. I really like the picture posted above!
I'm really dreading the fast approaching time change and the dent it's going to put in my outside time in the yard. But, I am looking forward to cooler weather and the leaves changing! Maybe I can take a weekend off for a hike in the mountains soon...
