  • Exhausted!

    Spent 6 hours in the garden this morning and 3 hours yesterday.  The front, along Forbes Avenue, is finally weeded.  Except for a couple plants I can't identify and don't know if they're weeds or something I planted.  Oops.  I got a couple plants moved and several new "rock garden" type things planted.  I'm tired, but very satisfied with what I got done.

    The garden along Forbes Avenue is actually in back of the house, but slopes downhill from the house.  So I seem to think of the front of the garden as the part farthest from the house.  Is that confusing enough?

    Somehow, I never seem to have my camera with me when out there.  It'd just get covered with dirt, I'm afraid.  I always find weeds to pull when I'm near the garden.

    Went to visit Andy last week and saw the new addition to his house as well as his garden.  Very modern and clean lines both inside and outside the addition.  Also very 'green' - solar hot water, bamboo floors, use of vines for summer shade yet allowing winter sun.
