summer hop

finally summer arrives...

and Zoe and I could not be happier.

we get to enjoy the patio
and the plants

and the sun

and the most incredible wisteria ever

and the paths

and mr. crow who surveys the yard

and the fountain

and one foxglove left

and sedums too.

but of course the yard takes work

and it seems we rarely sit and enjoy it.

a couple of blogs back I showed you the tree that we took out here

(where I dream of a studio)

so we needed to change the gravel and planting area

and we worked two days to do that

and cut more trees

and everyone pitched in

to move bark and edge

(just love corgi butts)

and explore.

and finally some rest

and pool time.
now if we could just get day #7 above 80 degrees this summer...
