What an awesome day!
Overcast , just cool enough for a fire.. I love the crackle , the smell... spent most of the day out in the yard..I remember when I moved in here.. it looked like a jungle, everything so grown up , no character, nothing that smiled at me when I came home.. Now everything seems to smile ..even me ")
I can't believe it's coming to life
lots of cutting and trimming .. Removing old, dead stuff, lots of sweat.. I found an old patch of vinca vine .. I was so excited when I saw it because it makes beautiful landscaping border... deep green with purple flowers . I've been slowly transplanting its new growth in different oarts of the yard..now there's beautiful borders everywhere !!! Looks like something out of better homes and garden this year .there's a "huge " kidney shaped rock I cleared out around last year , cut a bazilloon tons of brush out around it . Canopied all the trees out , and now have a sitting place for two that overlooks the lake ..there's an old old rock fire pit in the shape of a rectangle nestled not far from the huge rock .. Perfect distance by the rock, will make a great setting for a cozy fire on the other side of the yard.. There's a spot that the wine bottle tree will look great in ... yeah it's starting to look like a real live person lives around here .. the corkscrew willow trellis I made will need to be tied up with fresh support string, makes a beautiful climbing trellis .. think I'll throw some morning glories around them.. it will look great with the rocks "Oklahoma red rocks " that were made into a landscaping wall..
I like how it tapers flush into the ground ... Things are coming together .. "finally" ... Hope tomorrow is nice , I hear thunder in the distance ...(((smile))) I feel a blanket , some coffee , and some porch swing time coming on!!! I'm so excited about the fireflies coming .. I dont know why I get so excited about their arrival every year.. Probably because it looks like a tiny display
of galaxy stars dancing .. Theirs tons of them! soon it will be time to get the camping area for memorial day ready .. Tents , camp fire stories , playing jokes on each other ., late night fishing.. Got the barrels for the floating boat dock in the middle of the lake .. the kids will love jumping off of it this year .. need to find a Huge rope to tie around a tree for a swing .. I want memories created !! hmmmm Definately gotta get the tents out ..get the tiki torches .. and of course "glowsand !!"
this year the glow balls are going out on the pond!! lots to look forward too.. Im excited!! Eh!! More mowing too..
It will be worth it!!
