the garden area in the front has taken a huge step forward.
I gave in an bought some rocks from a guy and he delivered
them to our driveway the last week of August. We've got
them arranged around the garden and we're very please
to have it finished. Janie will be buying some stuff to fill the
garden and there-you-go.
We agree that having gardens and planting around a house
"anchors" a structure and makes a big difference in the total
look and feel of a place.
Kevin and Sarah came Saturday to help me with two things that
required more hands than I had. We're preparing for a bridge over the
pond and these are the 6x6's that will be the base.
Here's a little fresh face who visited us over the weekend.
The effort continues on the barn. Janie bought paint from
Tractor Supply, (our favorite store of all time) and began painting
the East side. There's another section completed on the other
side as well. It should be finished before October !!
The color is just right. So many red out buildings we see have
this "purple" hue that we don't care for. Oh, also, I planted my
PIV at the corner.
On Monday (Labor Day) as we were headed to friends house
to care for their horses and such, when we came upon these
deer. I have never seen an albino deer and here were many.
They had ear tags and we suspect they were pets as they
were very calm and unconcerned about us being right there.
Our area is full of deer, we saw at least 14 during that little trip.
The stones/garden area looks nice, and will be even better with more green stuff in it!
ReplyDeleteThe barn has already come a long way since Julie and I were up there.
