Working toward Tuscan.....

Staring in the snow
     Our yard project continues as we seated the four raised beds yesterday and plan on working on the side garden bed outline today. Wow, it's a lot of work to take on an entire landscape redo right before spring planting, but I'm sure it will be well worth it.

top beds are leveled
     I knew I wanted the kind of garden where one wants to stroll, explore and venture on. Slowly I hope that the garden becomes all of those things through the use of creative pathways, arbors, trellises and a plethora of planters. As the week continues I hope to put in our first trellises at the edge of our patio and begin choosing stepping stones. I have yet to decide whether I want stone or brick, oddly shaped or even, all the same or varied. It's definitely a step by step project.



The new beds are in
     As the weather begins to warm up I find myself sitting outside and just being. It's quite alone in the garden with only the sounds of the chickens for company which provides a nice respite from the chaos of bunny, child and dogs inside. Speaking of the little bit of chaos; we are having a sweet guide dog puppy in training come to visit us for spring break. It will be nice to have a black lab in the house again!

More progress to come.... hopefully today!
