I Have Found My Passion!

 Was it just a year and a half ago that I took this picture from the driveway? My She Shed had been delivered and set up and I wondered how long it would take me to tame the "woods"?

My pictures did not load in the correct order, but this is the sloped "lawn" running alongside my driveway. I had just started planting. 

You can't tell how steep that slope is from pictures, but I needed steps up or I would have to walk all the way to the top of the driveway to step onto the "lawn".

The day the shed was delivered was supposed to be the first picture. I remember this day so well. We still had all those boxes on the porch, like a maze to be navigated in order to go inside. Those same boxes are now in various sheds, waiting to be unpacked and relocated to where they belonged. Well, they have all been opened and examined except for my sewing stuff.

This is the first picture and you can see where the land drops off into a slope.

This is where I stopped last season. I felt pretty good about the changes from last season, but as anyone who ever had a garden knows ..... you are never done!

I took this picture this morning. It goes all the way to the beginning of our drive.

A better view here. See all those weeds next to the pavement? My next project. I am pulling all those weeds and will put rocks down instead. Purely selfish because I hate mowing it, but it will look better.

This a view from the top of the driveway. The sign was already there, but it occurs to me that I have not had any visits from solicitors. I don't think the sign has anything to do with it. I think some may find the driveway to be too steep. When my nephew visited, his wife was driving and balked at driving down the slope. Flatlanders! I was scared the first time I drove my car down and had my foot on the brake the entire time. HeWho flew down like it was a carnival ride. I must have gotten used to it.

A bit of whimsey to honor my favorite breed. The weather has caught up with the rest of the world. It got up to 82 yesterday! Supposed to hit 85 today. Still cool at night, in the 60's. 

Feeling nostalgic today, looking at old photos and realized just how different things are looking. I think I have found my passion in gardening. I wish HeWho would find his passion in something beyond his recliner and ever present phone!
