A Bit of My Yard

We moved into this 1965 ranch, I prefer to call it a cottage, three years ago. We have removed and re-landscaped everything. This is the view from my front door, that needs to be painted again... *sigh* We laid the block in a kidney shape and planted the grass, hosta, and ground cover. It's difficult to see the larger rocks but they are there. I try to landscape in triangle formations. One, it's pleasing to the eye and it works because it an odd number. Three is my go-to-amount when I'm working in the garden. I try to put everything in groups of three in some loosely shaped triangle. It's something I've picked up from HGTV over the years. So I just do it, and it seems to work for me. HGTV is a wonderful network and information site. Love it.
We need to level the block and add another row; that will be a fall project. We'll wait until the block goes on close out. The ground cover is new this season. I water it often, everyother day. We are having a very dry summer. How about you?

Oh, your yard is too cute! ...and I would have to agree, HGTV is a great network! I've been watching and trying to find ideas on how to decorate a small space!

Pretty, Trudi! Yes, we are so dry down here...got a little rain today.

You can get Sophisticated Finishes at Michaels. That's the only store I've been able to find it at. Or maybe online.
