@home : Perennial Retreat

This weekend was the first weekend we had dry weather long enough to get some stuff done around the yard. Steve mowed the lawn and I raked up cedar tree litter far and wide. We filled the rolling yard waste container and the extra bag and still didn't get it all.


We then moved on to the new garden area. Steve put together the bench my dad had bought me for my birthday, and then we installed a "dry creek bed" (all those rocks you see in the picture). But this creek bed won't always be dry since the overflow from the rain barrel is piped into it. So when it rains REALLY hard there will also be a creek running through my garden!





Doesn't it just look sweet? Don't you want to sit and relax? I can't wait to get the rest of my plants and finish the look!
