dust days


now that the fall is upon us---time to attack the dust that has taken hold inside the house!
the 1st battle was the garden window--i won & it looks great.


we've had such beautiful weather for the last few weeks.  i was able to help build & design a terraced garden for my husband's brother.  he's really inspired---there's no stopping him!  ---but that's as it should be......

great weather; great time!





"there, through the long, long summer hours....."

 ....the golden light should lie;

and thick young herbs
and groups of flowers

stand in their beauty by".  (june--e.a.poe)











lavender & patchouli garden





                                             signs by sandy














got all projects done in time for a local garden tour--









---including this beauty!!!

doesn't it look like a fairy tale cottage??

my husband did a marvelous job. you'd never know
he didn't have experience .  he just went for it, & learned as he went!
