spring 2002

04/17/2002 -- i got tired of mooving these stepping stones out of the way every time i mowed the grass, so i dug their holes deeper; now they're level with the ground. there's supposed to be a lot of rain tomorrow. after it's had a chance to help the dirt settle into the cracks, i'll trim and sweep this, and it should be nice and neat. the excess dirt from this went to a project around back...

here's a gorgeous batch of perennial flowers in the corner box, thanks to some previous occupant.

i need to extend this so there are flowers all the way back, between the shrubberies.

here's a closeup of a spot in which the flowers are coming out. a few more days, and the whole shrubs will be like this.

around back, things aren't so pretty. i demolished the hillside while taking down the fence. i talked to my neighbor the other day about what to do with it, and she said she wants ivy there.

so, we're trying to get some ivy started. i got a bunch from glenn and planted it. it looks pretty ragtaggle to me, but here's hoping.

at last, chairs! while i was buying grass seed at home depot, i found a couple that weren't too expensive, and now i can sit out back without having to drag a chair in and out of the house.
