A Small Project









I needed more space for my shade-loving pots of Heucheras and Hostas so my DH and youngest son put a roof over an area that already existed in the back of the yard.  There's a lot of stuff back there like extra lawn chairs, garbage cans, and lots more!! so I plan on screening it a bit or maybe just ignoring it. I'm just happy that they did this for me!!













Those tall flowers in front are the Japanese Anemones full of buds!   Japanese Anemones are so invasive they have to be confined as they are here with concrete on all 3 sides ( this area is triangular.)


Some painting still to be done but mostly this was a one-day project.  Thanks for popping by. I hope your weekend is going along nicely!  GM

  5. How nice! This reminds me of my hummingbird shed, but I must say that it took a lot more than a day to finally get it up. I know you are going to have fun with this. Lucky you!

  14. Awww, how great of them to make that for your garden! Great job, guys! I love your little area there. It reminds me of our tiny "patio" (what we called it for lack of a better word lol) we made way back when at a house where we used to live.

  16. That is a beautiful little patio. I wish my Japanese anemones would invade a bit more!! I can see why they would like your climate better than mine.
