the new driveway and front walk..... the driveway is right in front of the new shed garden.
New Garden Projects This Year #4
and finally, the new "car park" area across the road from the driveway....
Wow what a great difference in one month with the grass in now DonnieB. What are those colourful things laying on the ground in the bed and on the new grass? Did you add some more decor? I'm hoping they aren't leafs already!
was going to ask the same thing dnut - looks like fall has hit
louise is that truman in the distance on the second to last post?
Geee Louise a "car park?" you must be expecting company.
Thanks, Dahlia! And yes......those are definite signs of fall on the ground!
Bill - Yes, that is "Bud".....or Truman to you! LOL You can also see him in the last post. He resides next to the car park area. Shall I reserve your spot next to him?
JoAnn - don't you think we'll be able to make good use of that car park on Saturday? LOL
How timely LOL
You just think of everything and go to no expense to make guests welcome he!he!
Well, not exactly! LOL But it did get completed in good time, and I hope it does help out with the parking scene for the RU.
It looks lovely---can't wait to see it in person.
Very nice dnut and Louise!!
Cousin Nut, what a fabby job your DH has done! Bravo!!!!! Now I wish I could have one! Would love that for my front walkway.
Looking wonderful, Louise! I'm liking it! Can't wait to see in person.
Karen
Thanks, everyone! How lovely that some of you can see it for yourselves!!
Is there going to be a house tour?
Sure - if you'd like one!
Sounds like fun!
Take pics!! How about a video?
i pass on the tour and sneak around for rocks then :)
I think Louise should give Bill a miniature version of the boulder with the identity crisis.
you mean truman
Did Louise and Hank formally accept that name?
oh no - a cow with those eye lashes is what it is :)
His name is Bud! He has been named after the guy who found him under our driveway and carefully moved him into his permanent home. LOL
Oh, and yeah,Victor.....we have a special raffle gift in mind for Bill!
ane i have one for truman :)
Oh, No!!
:- )
wow everyone has been working hard this summer
finally got all the sun plants out from the north side front entry and planted hostas and heuchera
here is the other part of it
this one had a huge creeping juniper about 12 feet across now it has two japanese lilacs and a few perennials and some annuals
and this is another new hosta bed has grown in pretty good should be better next year
now we are clearing a wood section to plant next year
this is the area we are working on now took down lots of dead apple trees that are now being cut into fire wood for this winter
we had to deviate the water from our eves so it would stay dry to work had to much rain in july we have a creek that runs out of that area in the spring so we plan on mapping it out and adding river stones to try and stop the damage but we first have to finish clearing everything out

really nice job
Very nice, Mona!
that is a lot of work mona, looks great.
thanks, it was nice since DH and the girls we all worked together so kept the kids outside and not watching tv lol
Nice work, Mona. Looks great! Wonderful to see you again. Missed you
late this spring we got n1h1 and then ran behind on the outdoor work because of it so its like we have been playing catch up all summer, now we have to get the wood ready for winter havent even started yet, so I get the feeling I am going to be pretty cold stacking the wood hahahha but at least now I have some time on my own with everyone back where they belong
Glad you're all OK.
Glad to hear everyone is fine now. WOW you did a ton of work! It looks totally fabby.
I agree---the lilacs are going to be special! Sorry about the flu---
