It is so easy with this perfectly sized tractor expertly manuvered by our neighbor across the street.  We are so fortunate to know these neighbors.

Stone wall ideas....


Or what to do with rocks from Canadian beaches. 



Just the beginning of an inspiration that came today. Rocks on rocks. There may be some other items collected from beaches, ie, buoys. Or the buoys could hang on the split rail fence, see previous post. It will all make sense and give some degree of pleasure while providing homes for all our collections. We shall see. 

Before.....

This the way the space between the house and barn looked from the road today. The last week in May, the pines and 3  pear trees come down, and the area will be stumped and graded. This is a big deal. We won’t get our money back on it, but it will save us pain and aggravation in the long run, no more pine needles and possibly falling trees or branches.  And there are now plans for native plants, gardening and a split rail fence going up the driveway on the right side, with trumpet vine growing along. Not bad plan I’d say....
