Another light snow storm yesterday, left an inch or snow and some pretty trees:

Landscaping

This is two months late – sorry!
For a long time we’ve been planning to have the front garden redone; the old patio was ugly and there was a square unfinished, left over from the addition five years ago (!). The brick paths are straight & ugly, and the grass was battered from the trucks & dumpsters during the addition … couldn’t find any old pics, but in this one you can get a glimpse of it:

So we hired Chris to landscape the front. We told him we wanted curves instead of all the straight paths, etc; we wanted a granite patio and we wanted nicer flower beds. He did a sketch which looked great, and we left him to get on with it … and the results are absolutely fabulous!

Here’s some “during” pictures:

The Garden on July 4th

Today was Independence Day – a holiday in USA and a time for people to hang the US flag; Margaret did too this year, now that she’s officially American:

I took lots of pictures around the garden too, since it’s all very green & healthy this year (the result of an easy winter, loads of rain and finally lots of sun)!
