This time of year inspires me. Everything has turned green and my mind is full of projects that I have dreamt about all winter!
My first project was to build a rock wall at the back of our yard. As luck would have it, the farm that is next to our property has rocks aplenty. With the permission of the farmer I got to work…
dig…
lift…
throw…
Pull…then repeat and repeat and repeat…
After many hours of back breaking work, the rock wall is complete! When I look out my kitchen window and see my original vision in front of me, it’s an amazing feeling. I almost want to break out into a dance, except I am too tired and sore!
We already decided it was fruitless to plant a garden in the back since it is home to so many of our friends. Bunnies, squirrels, deer and woodchucks. So it is going to be wildlife friendly!
