Arriving home


Arriving home

Richard finished mulching in the hole he has been digging in the former driveway. After months of teasing him about trying to dig up the old driveway by hand, I have to admit, the new entrance to house is beautiful. The back part of the bed, formerly lawn and planted 2 years ago has a peach tree and quince, as well as mums, day lilies, and an evergreen juniper. The front part of the bed will be ready to plan in the spring. And the large stone at right: a piece of shale too large to move, levered onto its end. It serves as both a natural sculpture and a heat sink.

Meanwhile, it's fun to compare the new entrance with a photo from 7 years ago. The former driveway is just visible in the lower right corner.
