Manic Monday

Have you heard the saying "Sore muscles equals happy pain"?  I don't know who coined this phrase, but they really need to be slapped and slapped HARD!!

We worked in the North Garden again this weekend.  We're trying to get the pathways laid out so people will stop stepping on my flowers and plants.  We were going to do it last weekend, but the fuel line to the tiller broke.  So, we got a new fuel line, got about a foot into it and the spark plug 'blew'.  You know you are a die hard gardener when you say, "Shovels" and begin to dig!

You can see we used 12x12x2 pavers to lay our path.  Only because that's what we have and that's what we used.  SO, it cost me nothing....except sore muscles!!

You can see it better in the photo below....and the POS tiller in the back ground.

I love how it curves around the rose garden and to the area that will eventually slope down and not just end, so it will continue out into the back yard.

We also worked on our water feature, getting it cleaned out and readjusted.  Some cool night time photos of the waterfall!!  LOVE IT!!  My wonderful husband built this 4, almost 5 years ago for our wedding reception. 

 It actually lights up like this at night...so pretty!!!

Me, hubby and the kids went all over the area looking for large river rock to create this gem in our garden.  I loved it then, and I still love it.  It is what makes this garden, home! 

Of course, Miss Lyla came to help out Nana and Papa in the garden.

 She is getting so big!  And such a big helper, too. 

 She just HAD to pick a petunia! She loves it out in Nana and Papa's garden.  Next year, she gets to pick her own flower for the garden.

She really loved the roses.

Manic Monday, Sore Muscles Monday, whatever you call it, it's Monday.  Hope your Monday is going great.
