Today......

Okay, I already told you that I was soooo tired last night, wanna know why? I have spent entirely too much time inside! I do not do very well if I do not spent time outdoors. Today I worked around my little new potting shed some. Started with some border grass, some is Aztec and some is Liriope, don't really know the difference other than the Aztec has white flowers and the Liriope has purple....any comments on that?
Planted some Petunias, Pineapple Sage on one back corner, planted some seeds........I know it still looks dreadful, that will soon change, I promise. The little porch is so needy and I bought some more stenciling brushes to stencil the front after Christmas.
You can see the red brick castle wall, the fruit trees and then you get to the potting shed. To the left of the potting shed where all of the little chairs are is our fire pit.
This brick walk is in front of our front porch, hubby ask me today if I would like one in front of the potting shed.............Heck yes!! Go back and look at the first pic, don't you think a walkway like this would be a great addition? Tell the truth. There is still a LOT of work to be done............having fun with it though, even if I only do a little at a time. You know the pinched nerves on both sides of my neck and the "tendonitis" they think I have in my elbow will slow you down a little. Will find out in January why my elbow doesn't work the way God intended.....can't have surgery on my neck until summer, the girls need to be out of school because I will not be able to drive for 2 1/2 weeks...Not complaining by any means, just explaining why I'm not moving as fast as usual....God is Good!!

Hi Darla,
It's all looking good! I love the brick and I think it would look great if you had a walk like that going to your potting shed!! You are SO ambitious and energetic!

Darla, that brick sidewalk would look great in front of your potting shed... Wow--that little shed is going to be the prettiest shed on the block!!!! When I get tired of winter, can I come and sleep in your cute little shed?????
Hugs,
Betsy

Nice shed, I which I had one like that, and yes a walk way to the shed would look great

Great Job, Darla. You would sure need a pathway for the potting shed too, but the rocky one would look awesome - know what I mean? the big uneven ones that you bury in the ground?
The shed looks neat and in few months it'd be adorned by your plants! Would love to see that complete Vista.

Hey Darla, I think the walkway would look very nice there...it would be a good entrance way to the potting shed (which, by the way, is quite cute!). I'm sorry to hear of your pinched nerves etc. I can totally relate, girl! Neck, shoulder and lower back problems here! I need surgery too...am trying to get by without it for now, and go to a pain management specialist and 100+ other doctors for these issues;) It's really frustrating when you want to be digging and gardening! Just hang in...maybe things will improve & you won't need the surgery. Have you tried Lyrica yet? That really helps me a lot with the nerve pain:) Take care! Jan

Hi Darla, oh yes indeedy to the brick walk to the shed! It is starting to look fabulous and will give you many happy hours of puttering. Aztec versus liripe? I have found the aztec to be less hardy and thinner blades, but they have the same look. There are probably more differences but I don't know them off the top of my head! :-)

I love the the potting shed! How cute! I think the brick would really make it top notch.

Linda said...

Such a lot of space you have in your garden! And a verandah on your little potting shed - what style. Sorry to hear about your neck issues. Sending good wishes your way.

Craig Glenn said...

A new brick path is a great idea. I still think the fire pit is the best. We always had one growing up. Those were the best times growing up. No tv just sit around and talk and laugh.

We had some fabulous gardening weather and I can see you have been hard at work! Wasn't it too much fun! Love the red shed! A great background for all you've planted...this spring is going to be a delight to see it all a bloom! Gail

marmee said...

all this and christmas, you brave girl.

Jen said...

You've done a great job on the shed so far. I love those grasses, and a walkway is needed for sure to keep people out of the flowers.
Hope you are feeling better soon-take it one day at a time - God's speed.

Susie said...

I love that little red shed. I think it will look so adorable when all work is done, not that it isn't cute now!

A brick walkway in front of it would look nice. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Hi Darla,
I have some liriope, but not the grass you mentioned. I like the idea of the brick walkway, but I wouldn't make it wider than 3 feet or so.

I hope your body heals. I developed tennis elbow after helping my husband shovel several tons of gravel into our back yard. Of course, I continued to pull weeds and that through the pain. My physical therapist saw me working on my flower bed at church and told me I was supposed to be resting it. After several years, a few cortisone shots, therapy, and exercise, I ended up having a minimally invasive out-patient surgery that took longer to heal than it was supposed to. I'm over it now, though, so it did work, even though I wasn't back to my normal routine in the amount of time their advertising claimed I would be.

Please excuse me for carrying on so! I don't want to erase it now that I wrote all that. As a gardener, I'm sure you can relate to that. Again, I hope you heal well, and I will pray for you.

Thanks for your comments on my blog.

Sue

Leedra said...

Yep, needs the brick walk. But don't want to over work that fella, he is so good to you. One time I asked mine to make a new flower bed. His answer was sure, dont' want you getting anybody else to do it. LOL!

Hope your pain is some better thru the holidays, so you can enjoy.

I ask myself "how the hell do you dodge an world of warcraft gold attack you can't even SEE?"Melee DPSers in your raid are playing very badly, increasing the damage to your tank and wow power leveling decreasing their own damage output. Mobs do dodge from behind, but they don't parry or block. Simply fighting from behind world of warcraft gold a mob results in an increase of 5% in your DPS on most mobs because you cut cheap wow gold parry out, plus you avoid giving the mob the 'next world of warcraft gold swing is 50% faster' that they get on a successful parry.Don't forget that wow powerleveling some even get BONUS attacks when they parry. I can't tell you how many times we wiped on Gruul because of hateful world of warcraft gold strikes...Melee DPS should always be behind mobs as much as possible in raids.I've learned that attacking players from the back means they can't block, parry, or dodge. Is this the same with wow power leveling mobs?It's supposed to be the case, however I'm not sure if it always works that way in practice.i have never heard world of warcraft gold anything about hitting a player from behind making it so they cant cheap wow gold dodge or parry,The same applies world of warcraft gold to NPCs. The only time positioning matters is that the target needs to be in front of you, and some rogue and druid catform abilities wow power leveling require you to be either behind or in front of your target.Players CANNOT Dodge block or parry attacks that come from behind them.NPCS CANNONT BLOCK OR PARRY attacks that world of warcraft gold come from behind them.NPCS CAN dodge attacks from behind BUT players cannot.this is why in a raid all melee classes wow gold kaufen need to attack from behind the boss in order to reduce the amount of parries.I understand that world of warcraft gold this forum is for beginners.but when a beginner asks a question, please understand what you are talking about before wow powerleveling you spread misinformation.keep in mind that you can MISS from all directions. So if you are a rogue and you ambush a player, they dofus kamas wont BLOCK it, but you can MISS your attack.

You can wow gold understand, i'm sure, how easy it was to confuse you two. At least world of warcraft gold you sound like you're joking, the other guy was serious!This Also you have no idea if it will get more armor/energy The new rocket cluster or the yamato gun? you buy wow gold gotta choose. Either way they still suck, why build one wow po of them? When I can literally build x4 wraiths. 80 dps per sec versus 25 dps per 25 sec. Figure out the math.Battlecruiser wow or and Carrier need some help. They are destroyed easily even with support.in raids melee classes never go behind there targets so i assume there is no such thing world of warcraft gold and its the same for mobs.Yes, players can block parry or dodge attacks from behind. Even against a rogue ambushing from buy wow gold stealth that the player wasn't even aware that they were there.but am I going to have some fun wow gold testing out the new rogue tree.
