I don't know why the neighbors talk.......

Josh is really getting down to the wire with the wine bottle edging for the paths, since I want to have mulch put down next week.  Josh is also rehearsing for his school's production of "Alladin," which opens in a couple of weeks.  (He's the parrot character).

In any case, Josh called this afternoon, and said (in 17-year-old speak)...."Oh, cool, I'll come straight from rehearsal to work in your yard for a couple of hours.  We're trying out the hair and makeup today...is it ok if there is some makeup left on my face?"

This is Josh arriving to work in my garden.....and I wonder why the neighbors just look over and scratch their heads when they see us in the garden......

99 Bottles of Wine in the Ground...99 Bottles of Wine.....

I finally got started on the wine bottle borders in the Stepchild Garden this afternoon, after spending the first half of the day at the Big House. It's not looking like much at the moment, but I'm loving the way it's turning out. (I probably should have hosed off some of the mud before I photographed, huh?) The added treat was how awesome the bottles looked as sun was starting to set on that part of the garden! 85 in the ground, only about 900 or so more to go!
