All in a day’s work…

Do Y'all (you all)




have that area of your garden you tend to ignore?






IMG_0021






We do






we most certainly do






But not anymore.






This area used to be no man’s land…






the end of the highway…






where the backyard ended.






…and other not such niceties

But with a little screw it a lot of sweat equity






some planting, some moving






It now has a purpose.






sit with a cold corona with a lime kinda purpose…but a purpose just the same.






{maybe you pretend those plastic chairs are a cool retro bamboo version…that’s what I do. pretend.}

We extended the gravel path added some pathway rocks, and looped it around the






Big and Happy Travelers Palm






Did you know they are called travelers palm’s because if one was travelling and perhaps lost, you could cut off a limb and it would contain a canteen full of water. Who knew?






I knew…now YOU do to. We’ll call it Trivia Sunday.






IMG_0025Then we moved some plants around cheap….rolled a big giant pot over and stuck a bamboo drip fountain in it...

A handful of water plants…and maybe a big fake water lily. just being honest.IMG_0037






Not bad for a day or two’s work….






...and some dirt under the nails, eh?






and may I remind you it was over 100 with the humidity...Bow...applause...bow

Thanks to some kidlets and a Grandma B that were pretty good rock and pebble haulers.






Grandma’s got some biceps.
