Wha, you would have noticed if your impatience had it. They went from big full plants to losing all their leaves almost overnight in August. I first thought some rabbit had eaten everyone we had along the paths and along the stream over night. They were just skeletons.

Glad you finished your difficult bird bath. We will all want to see it, especially Victor, who doesn't get it, no matter how much he wants it.

Ge1836, Love the new stone path outline. I think we are done with paths as of last year as we have no more stones from our building the house in 1981. Plus living on Nantucket, there are none here that are affordable as we found out a few years back when we needed a few more to flat stepping stones finish off our rebuilding of our steps to the lower terrace. I changed the path and stairs to a better spot, but then we needed more stones to finish the project. Cost was shocking.

DH worked in the veggie bed today and then sprayed deer repellant on the maples outside the deer fence He also tried to repair some big trenches that our dear dogs dug last night through a couple of our bed. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. They were looking for moles and voles and made a big mess.

i worked in the GH yesterday doing some pruning and deadheading and then I took a few shots both inside and out and will post the garden ones shortly, but here are some from the GH. I am taking notes on what beds need more crocus and reticulated Iris for next year. Patti
