Land mover...

We have been doing a lot of projects around the house these past two weeks. Our neighbor, Will, has been over to help with grading the back patio. He tore out a couple of huge stumps for us and has moved a massive amount of soil to create a garden space down by the barn as well as a level area behind the kitchen. We are planning to design a patio back there.

We would be working for years if it hadn't been for his generosity! We are very grateful for his friendship ~

Garden Joy 2008

Here are just a few photos of the flowers in my garden this year! I have been a very busy girl these past few months. I have planted 13 roses; 3 double delight in memory of our dear friend Aileen Lightbody who passed away in March. I was also given 7 roses that were removed from a garden on the coast. They are doing great! I enjoy the roses but have to spray "Liquid Fence" to keep the deer at bay... Needless to say, it is worth the effort! They are fragrant and beautiful ~
