I made this little garden last year. The colors after the rain were lovely, the area needs sweeping and the fountain needs cleaning! Here is where the succulents are starting to thrive after being moved from the house.

We made this garden just two years ago after removing dead ash trees and incredible amounts of invasive honeysuckle. All the plantings were either moved from other parts of the property or gifted by friends. We bought only the mulch!

A pair of Canada geese liked our pool planter as a nesting site this spring. At times the goose had to defend her nest from a takeover bid from another goose family and on two occasions called on our help as back up defense. We won and in due time five goslings were born. This is the day they were born and launched into the pond. The whole family had left by next morning.
