Well, it's August, and I'm up to the stage where I can kick back and wait for the grass to grow - on a very literal standpoint. This is the part of the facelift I do enjoy in a garden - and I can't wait to get myself into a bigger garden so I have more to do; honestly, I get a little bored when it's cool enough to do more, and yet I don't have anything to actually do in the garden but wait.
I have to wait for the lawn to establish itself enough so I can install the large stepping stones. This means I have to look into working on another project while I do.
I've been planning on constructing a street sign reminiscent of the one from MASH - you know the one which was outside of 'The Swamp' with all the city and country names on the sign post? Well, yeah, that but I want one which will have all the made-up names from the books I've read; pointing in all the right directions (yep, even Neverland will be pointing upwards to the heavens - second star to the left - in the right direction). Seeing I'm a writer, and I do love my garden, it's only right for me to have part of my imagination in this garden.
I've already put a book-style art piece in it; and it's worked out. I'm hoping to pop in more pieces of book-style art works around the place... now I just have to find a statue of a white rabbit to put next to the sign post and it'll really start to look like something out of a book! Until my next post, happy gardening!

I'm going to have to work harder or get a smaller garden if I want to experience, being "a little bored when it's cool enough to do more, and yet I don't have anything to actually do in the garden but wait".
ReplyDeleteLucky you.
Oh man... not really. I'm out there in the early morning just looking for something to do - but finding nothing. I hate it, but it's true.
DeleteTomorrow, I'll be off to the cheap stores to look for that elusive white rabbit statue for the garden - it'll on for me to find it! I can't wait!
