I'm really excited! After many years, I finally have my flower beds sculptured. We had some old bricks at our home when we moved in so I thought I would use them to make an edging for the flower beds. I know this is an old fashion concept but I love it, this is totally me. I made a few beds with the bricks we had but have never been able to finish what I wanted to do. I didn't want to buy a whole pallet of bricks because I didn't need that many. So my wonderful husband was coming home from out of town and came through a small town about 30 miles from us where an old building had fallen down on main street. I called the city manager and he gave us a permit to pick up the bricks. So we have made several trips actually 3 to pick up bricks. I keep deciding to make one more flower bed. Actually, the one in front of the green house is my last one. Gary is sure hoping it will be. :)
I want to thank him now for helping me load and unload all these bricks. I really had fun putting these in and looking at the finished product. I still have to dig the grass out of some of them. A lot of that has already been finished in the other beds but as you can see there is still some digging for the one in front of the green house.
Next will be the really fun part of picking out the shrubs and flowers I want to use. I was listening to an author speak the other day and she talked about her passion of going into old books stores and that she loves them and just goes nuts when she enters. I laughed to myself because I knew exactly what she was talking about I like old books stores but my passion is going to green houses, I love them and I go nuts when I enter one.
Enjoy these beautiful days outside~ xo
