What is it about doing yardwork that is so satisfying? I mean, I really like doing yardwork. Mowing the lawn, running the weedeater, pulling weeds by hand, planting new plants, composting. So relaxing. I like the earthy smells and watching the different plants growing and changing every day.
Today I got a purple wisteria, a white jasmine, some new lavender plants, and a couple of really cool plants that I can't remember the names but know that they are damn spiffy. I am planning a complete reconstruction of the front entry way complete with a new trellis and a gate. I want to put the jasmine over this gate. I think it will be amazing. I want to use cedar and redwood for the gate with some copper trim for the gate. Drawings will be posted soon.
The hot tub pad gets finished before I go to Nicaragua. That means I need to get the bricks ordered this week and the sand delivered by Friday. Yikes! But that will be a nice finish to that part of the yard, and the upper patio gets done first so I will at least have a place to grill while working on the lower section. Fun summer!
