Yard

Oh poor DD with the knee, Lighter!
What an amazing thing for her to go through on her
own in a foreign country! I'll bet this matures her a lot,
despite the pain and shock. Hope she heals fast and in
the meantime, that her chin is up a notch.
Sorry you have to deal with water issues on your property,
but how much great foresight you've had to tackle it ahead
of spring rain. Hope your sister left a good space behind her.
Amber, your projects as always sound so productive and
wonderful. Love the idea of kitchen gardens, and blocks.
I have had a veggie bed plan but can't get my usual guy
to commit to particular days/times, endless frustration.
So I'm going to leave the mowing to him and find someone
else to help me with other yard stuff.
I recommended Esteban so widely he now barely has time
for me. Happy his business is booming but also...disappointed.
All is well anyway. Spring here is insanely lovely, and short lived.
So I'll focus on enjoying it.

Today was glorious! Just amazing... sunny and breezy, and almost cool, and almost hot.... just perfect. Breezy. Sunny. So nice!
I hope it lasts a while.

OK, the weather here is bananas gorgeous.... and just right for planting.
Of course, I can't just plant. I have to think, and research, and think some more.... move plants around the yard... in this case rock gardens, and think some more. My sib would have had those puppies in the ground days ago, but I'm concerned about the "Plant in well drained soil" part of instructions.
The soil around the rock garden is still sopping wet.... ZERO drainage, which means I'm planning to put in some raised stone beds..... a couple medium sized, and many very small ones.
The idea of covering them with moss, and ferns makes me swoon with anticipation.
Yesterday's yoga therapy session is bringing some relief.... just having the appointment made me feel better, honestly.
Tupp... I think lots of people are somewhere on the spectrum. I'd be shocked if I wasn't there, somewhere. I also think ADD is common in my entire family, though no one's dx'd with it. We're more the gutting it out sort.
Here's to asking for help, and receiving it....Hear! Hear!
Another step in noticing what I want to change, and embracing what I really want.

I have many more plants to build raised beds for in the dry river beds. That's slow work, and I feel the need to order more rocks so as to prevent moving them round more than necessary. I need more rocks. I might seek out another company, as the one I've been ordering from can't provide anything larger than 5"-9" rocks. I was thinking 2 more tons of the smaller, and one crate of the larger. There's a few
The day's been blowing rain one minute, then calm sunny cool the next. Perfect for planting terrariums on the back porch, which is what I've done. Three of them. It wasn't the most enjoyable thing I've ever done, but I do adore looking at them. There's a few large rocks.... smallish boulders, I have my eye on by the side of the road. Will have to see.

You're getting so much done, Lighter, it sounds like a real oasis. I'm the same with checking where best to put things, light, soil, how big will it grow and so on - mostly because I've spent years living in houses where I'm stuck with the after effects of poorly completed DIY jobs, shrubs that are far too big for the spaces they are in, lovely garden areas that no-one wants to sit in because they get so little sun. The planning is important, for many reasons :) xx
