Thank you guys, I'm really happy with how it all came together, and now I can't wait for all the babies there to grow and grow and totally FILL it in! =)

Amanda, sorry about the dizziness, that "after" pic didn't come out really clear, huh? And I can't help but notice the "optical illusion" thing goin' on there, with the benches being level, and against that fence that actually follows the slope of the hill that we live on. Now you can **really** see how bad that slope really is. It took a LOT of back-breaking work to get that right, and it was all DH's back!! < =/ While we were out there yesterday giving the beds the finishing touches and putting all the stuff in it, it was raining pollen on us!!! I mean really, we were watching the pollen fall down on and around us like rain, AAHCHOOO!!!

Today, I get the rest of the stuff off of the deck (Winter Sown babies, and random things I've collected there), put the WS stuff in the ground whether it's ready or not, and get out the power washer for that deck, Wheeeeeee!!!!!!!! =)

Here's a couple close-ups of each side of the bed. You can tell by the lighting that it REALLY gets shade back there most of the day. Took those pics at about 11:00 in the morning or so. And it was sunny out!

Koshki, bring the orchids on over, I promise to treat them well!! ;P heeheeheee
