A blank canvas

 Here’s a little peek at what I’m up against:

The west side of the house is largely unfinished. The landscaper finished with it this summer, there’s irrigation and a path, and M.H. built those lovely compost bins you see in the left—but there’s just a ton of open space that still needs plants, seeds, mulch, structure, vision, digging, raking, toil…

All the little mounds of mulch are because we had a slight emergency two weeks ago when wood chips were delivered NOT on the driveway as requested but smack on top of a bunch of baby plants. We worked as hard as we could for three days straight just to get them somewhere else and haven’t done a lot of raking yet.

On the plus side, the possibilities out here are ENDLESS.

On the minus side, the possibilities out here are ENDLESS.

The task I set myself for today is to do a little mulch raking and start working on a very informal flagstone path to give myself access to a planned flower cutting bed. Various bits of vision are emerging, but it will take years to get it looking the way I am dreaming of.
