I can't wait to see it next Spring. Our summer projects are going slow. We have a lot of interruptions for fun things and two groups of guests coming in a week or two. They aren't really interruptions but the work will be set aside and we will enjoy every minute with them. My sweetheart is working hard to catch up with projects that have been left undone for a few years while he worked extremely long, stressful hours. Now things are beginning to come together. We even have a list for next summer already!<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802878614743577973.post-33608114664885030982013-07-26T19:25:26.974-07:002013-07-26T19:25:26.974-07:00It is looking very good!

Like you, I have used river rock - but I have used it to define a gravel path. All the rocks were hand-picked, two and three at a time, and I like to look at them and remember all those walks!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802878614743577973.post-5240925991421332522013-07-25T18:19:13.193-07:002013-07-25T18:19:13.193-07:00Gardening is a never ending project, isn't it?...Gardening is a never ending project, isn't it? I'm not planting anything at the moment, but waiting for the fall when I can continue on my "wildlife habitat". I have so many plans, I can hardly wait. And after a few years, when everything will be established, I will need way less water since I'm mainly going with native and drought tolerant plants. But there will always be room for delightful annuals.Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802878614743577973.post-91019648956245595962013-07-24T18:02:03.847-07:002013-07-24T18:02:03.847-07:00Hi Adrienne,

We hope to stop in when we get down that way. It has been busy with us and every time we go by it is late at night and we are on our way to Big Bear. <br />John Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11152335257334919941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802878614743577973.post-72094710267754200492013-07-24T12:39:11.500-07:002013-07-24T12:39:11.500-07:00You certainly got quite a bit of exercise with thi...You certainly got quite a bit of exercise with this project.

Painting the bathroom vanity doors & drawers today... doing finish work - like putting the hardware back on & reattaching the the doors.<br />My mom is coming for a week, so we'll actually start painting the kitchen after mom leaves (Aug 4). We MUST get down to visit with you... hard to, with all the heat!Christine E-Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04306387763796639856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802878614743577973.post-16773380299063916092013-07-24T07:47:17.690-07:002013-07-24T07:47:17.690-07:00I love how you have used the river rock to define ...I love how you have used the river rock to define the border. Boxwood is a great choice too. <br />We have gravel paths and there is something so beautiful about the sound of it underfoot. <br />Is it very hot where you live Adrienne?<br />We are having a heat wave here and daytime walking and gardening is limited by the heat. hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802878614743577973.post-31900164616380331332013-07-24T07:07:11.604-07:002013-07-24T07:07:11.604-07:00I can already tell that it will be beautiful!
