i'm just jealous.

my last back yard (in the words of rodney dangerfield):

"it looks like my tree vomited."

My backyard is so small, that if I stand in my back door, I can hit my neighbor's house with a yo-yo.

Small yard but just finished new deck!

In Johnny's garden
As the swift bird
Flies over the grasses
Dipping now and then
To take his breakfast
Thus I come and go
And I travel
And I can watch that bird
And unravel

That and more.
Simple victories, a Sunflower outside my shop, picture taken today. Why bother?

There to give us peace
In quiet hours

JP hang in there. That's a pretty big project for somebody who's been through what you have recently. It's great you're out there working through it.

Those pics look great - makes me want to cut out from work early and smell some freshly mown grass.

Yard looks great, CB. Out here, we have "desert landscaping." That translates to "rocks."

Crow. That's your yard? And you DIY the work? Wow.

Yes. Last pic is what I started with. In my eyes, the current pics are what I call the 'bones' of the project. The project itself being in late adolescence in garden years. Next phase is doing what I call 'fruit work', i.e., flowers and other small ornamentals that require intense tending.

Need to figure out a way to eradicate deer, though, which is a problem around here.

And thank you, vash. I appreciate it, coming from you.

Monet once said were it not for flowers, I would not paint. Here is a recent effort in paint. These are Nan-King cherry blossoms:

When you get to my age, hanging is the only thing I'm good at.
I'll take a pic when it quits raining.......the good news is the rain gives me a good excuse to sit on my ass.......I gots a hell of a wood pile....more than one, in fact.
