My other small bed – I cleaned up the dead leaves and moved more rocks over from the other bed. This garden has killed hundreds of dollars worth of plants over the years – nothing grows well here. About 20 years ago it was dug up for some reason I can’t recall and then the dirt was put back in with the clay on top. I’ve tried different bushes and trees with no success. Right now there are a few different types of ground cover and lots of rocks. My plan is to find a “statement” rock/boulder, call it a rock garden and be done with it.
Cleaned up with more rocks. I have a new hose to replace this sad one, you know, for watering the rocks lol!
Inside I am sick and tired, VERY SICK AND TIRED, of the mess of boots/shoes in the foyer.
Time to fill a few bins with the detritus of winter: boots, toques, scarves, gloves etc and CLEAR THE CLUTTER!! Another view – what a mess!!
This area needs some work. We do have a coat closet but Kazi prefers to hang every coat and scarf and throw every pair of boots and shoes she’s ever owned onto this coat rack/shoe rack. The two bins on top hold all of our hats, gloves and mittens. Oh, and a bike helmet. Oops…that’s mine!
Here’s her shoe rack tidied up. I haven’t finished the coat rack yet. That involves lots of shifting around from upstairs closet to downstairs closet – I was feeling faint and had to go meet a friend for coffee!
My rack – hiking shoes, Blundstone boots, hiking boots, more Blunnies, and underneath my hiking sandals and my shoes du jour. Much tidier…
Lots more to do but it’s a start. And at least I’m not tripping over things…for now.
