Where's the Rain?

We tend to be a little neurotic about checking the weather forecast so that we can plan what we're going to do. So, when it was forecast as rain today, we decided not to do any cementing of the serpentine path. Instead, Sue planted out what she aquired at the 'Troc' yesterday, and then she was carting barrow-loads of earth from the compost heaps to scatter on the 'new' grass in front of the house. This was where the builders used to park their vehicles and store their materials. We seeded it earlier this spring, but it's not taken too well, so Sue's scattered more seed on her fresh soil, and crossed her fingers!

Meanwhile, I have been moving stones, large and small from out of the 'ruin'. Sue wants it set up as the 'bonsai garden'!






I've been wheelbarrowing the stones round to the courtyard where we've got to bring the level up to the top of my new wall.

It's going to take a lot of stone to level everything up!!!

The rain did finally arrive....at 7 o'clock in the evening.
