So what do you expect me to share here? ;-)
About Me
- *jeanne*
- * Life is change. ** Born in New Jersey. (A Jersey Girl, but I don't know "What Exit".) I went to college in Iowa. (NOT in a cornfield, but close.) I was a New Yorker. The proverbial Struggling Actor in Manhattan, and surviving pretty well for 20-something-ish years (I *heart* New York.) *** Now I live below the Mason-Dixon line. (But I'm born and bred a YANKEE.) ***For awhile, I was an avid-almost-rabid runner, running WITH my camera much of the time. I have been experiencing some "aging ? and other issues", but I still doggedly clod-hoppily-plod my way through events, camera usually in hand. Now I'm even SLOWER than I used to be. *** :-P *** ** I used to help socialize local humane society cats in their foster home, and take photos for the website, but my Haven kitties moved to a farm in Virginia in May 2018. ~meow~ Awaiting my next incarnation, or not....*** I still have a phondness for photography & a recurring Flickr Addiction, so go see my photos!

Wow. What a massive job! Very nice!!
My back hurts just thinking about all that work. The terracing looks beautiful.
I like the new profile pic. :-)
I must point out that I did not build the retaining wall (put in when they built the house on this HILL, like MOST of us here in this development), nor did I do the patio stonework (done by contractors last year - ALL YEAR, it seems like!).
But I created all the garden beds, front, back (and unpictured in this post, along the sides of the house, too). There is a garden bed along the front of the house that I did not create (also, part of the landscaping that came with the house, which we purchased from the original owners). Many of the plants in the "back slopes" were dug out of that front bed, which had grown MUCH MUCH too crowded since 2001, when the house was finished. I also salavaged the lawn turf from the places where I created flower beds, and replanted it in the back where the slope was simply a mass of weeds behind that retaining wall.
There's still LOTS of work to do - but it's not completely overwhelming anymore. Now, it actually seems POSSIBLE! (and in MY lifetime, too!)
Grow, groundcovers, GROW!
very pretty!
