The Weekend Accomplishments

I was hell bent on spreading mulch and throwing pinestraw last weekend... But I just couldn't bring myself to actually doing it! Something about 3 or 4 trips to get all of the supplies, and actually wrestling with 30 bags of mulch just made me not want to go there:)

So instead, I cleaned up the steps, planted some stonecrop, hostas and tried to find a subtle, pretty way to block the view I have of my neighbor's gravel parking lot. ( it isnt REALLY a parking lot, but that is just a nice, dramatic way to describe their driveway).

So the pictures below are of my cleaned up steps with new plants ( all of which claim to love dry roots an stoney terrain). The other pictures are of my attempt to hide the parking area that I have a fabulous view of... And then a picture of the Garden Pest- who is worn out after trying to eat one of my new cushions....

The rest of the weekend was spent weed whacking, mowing, blowing... And then enjoying the beautiful space that I have created!
