having a great life in spite of everything

Didn’t I say at the end of my previous post that I’m in no hurry to finish the landscaping? Well I lied, I want the whole freaking project done, I’m sick of the bare-dirt look around there. The hard part now is figuring out exactly what to do, though. I did fix some of the edging to keep dirt from washing down the slope into the pond, like it did when it rained this past week (doh!). We need some kind of casual seating in there somewhere, but I don’t want too much hardscape, I want to jungle it up with a variety of plant heights, maybe a boulder or two, and all this has to fit in the teensy available space. So I want a lot, and I want it NOW.

You know what, I think I’m going to run to Lowe’s and just buy a bag or two of mulch to cover up the bare dirt, maybe then it’ll cease to look so construction-zoney that I can deal with it taking a while to finish out completely. I think that’ll help quite a bit, I just hate that crappy bare dirt and it’s really interfering with enjoying the parts that are finished.
