Garden 2.0, Phase 1

Phase 1 of Garden 2.0 is underway. These are SO much easier to assemble than the big wood garden -- we'll see how they work out before we go full bore. Issue is dogs because, of course that's the issue. No protection from digging and peeing and trampling. They'll be filled next week (fingers crossed the seedlings can hold on until then). It seems that the yard sprinklers are able to spray the beds too. Not sure if it's enough when plants get bigger and dense, but we have some options to change heads or add irrigation.





Probably 3 or 4 phases of the garden over the next couple of years. I'd love to have a native plant garden, more beds, less grass, pollinator garden, etc. 

Craft room is coming together too. Still more to do, but it feels good now.

I ordered a couple of runner rugs. This rug was meant for the basement hallway -- I didn't measure. The hallway is long, never thought the rug would be too long, but it works upstairs to dampen the walking sounds. I wouldn't have chosen something so colorful for this area, but it is my year of COLOR and it's kind of fun. 




I'm really pooped, but in a good way. These last steps are fulfilling in a way that the initial move wasn't -- coming together, not pulling apart anymore. That said, I haven't been sleeping well and I'm starting to feel rundown. I actually wonder if I'm starting a cold. 

Prep day for the weekend. Still feeling a little mixed about going, but leaning more toward looking forward to it. The weather looks like a rainout though. Maybe it'll change. I was complaining that we'll probably sit around a lot and that's a waste of my time (when I have a lot to do at home), but maybe it's exactly what I need. Of course, if I'm getting sick, it's a no-go. Even though I'm bringing 3 dishes (and food for me because gluten from the rest of the menu), it's still a weekend that I don't have to plan, execute, etc. That feels nice. I'm hosting the next weekend so being a guest is a treat. 

Have a good day. Later gators.
