May 23rd, 2007 - FLower garden in!
Our new flower garden is in! We spent the evening after dinner (about 2 hours) bringing in mulch, putting up a little fence (to keep the dogs out), sprinkling wildflower seed, planting the two plants, and watering it. Oh, also mulched beside the garage. And Maggie spent most of the time playing with her slide, or as she says, “Whee!” As in “Emma whee? Emma whee?” when trying to convince the dog to try it out. The deaf dog no less.
We’re now expanding our ideas and thinking about a water feature (right next to the house, so possible to run electric and water lines to it) and a stone bench. However, we realized this whole would require getting the electricity out the garage fixed first, or else undoing a lot of work when we get that done. Not sure if we can afford that next spring or not. (We were told when we bought the house that the line was out of code and should be replaced before the thing rusts through. We’ve ignored the problem so far….)
We hope to finish mulching this evening. We should have bought only 2 cubic yards as we have at least one yard left and we do NOT need that much! Maybe there will be higher paths in the garden….

I do not mind fountains (infact, I love them!) but if you install as “water feature” I will take it as a further sign that you no longer wish me to visit.

That’s one of those nonsense phrases I rank alongside “sales event” and “pre-owned vehicle.”
grrrr…..

Does Dad have the old water-workings from Worcester?
