We started with a slate patio and firepit......
After the patio was finished, we had a few stones left over, so we made a path.
I think that section there would look really cute with a little pond, some nice waterlilies, maybe a bit of a fountain......
The next major project was to stain the deck.
before......
after....
furniture all in place and ready for summer.
That's pretty much all the big stuff on the list....we also fixed the deck step that was built with a piece of plywood that had our name written on the side of it in felt pen. (idiots), got the back fountain running again, put up some flags to keep the deer out of the garden, and spent a great day taking a tour of a really cool specialty nursery, far reaches farm.
Of course, some plants had to come home with me......a lemon yellow poker plant, an angels fishing rod, a white giant pincushion flower for the moon garden, a cool crocrosmia called "goldfinch", and a corydalis that you just can't find anywhere else.
The clearance rack offerings were kind of slim this week, probably because of the holiday. I did get a couple of things, and they're already in the ground and happy in their new home.
Up next......cleaning and waterproofing the bird baths, painting the pump house, some new solar rope lights for the patio, finishing the trim on the shop....see, it's all small stuff now....oh,, and CONSTANTLY weeding and searching for more plants.
p.s. some of the peonies are blooming.....
and the poppies too......
hard to believe a year ago, it looked like this.....
