Big Bold Statement and a Picture


OK...this is a piece of my back yard that gets very little sun because of a big ass Oak Tree that we love. The grass won't grow, the ground is mostly hard clay.
So, what you are seeing is this weeks after work......work.  The middle part is a sheet of black stuff ola that keeps the weeds from growing.  I chopped and hoed and chopped some more. That is small landscaping wood things on the side, the front is one of those metal things that you can bend the stake into the ground.  In front of that is broken slate (still using slate left over from pool building years ago) and then chunks of slate in front.  OK....... today is dirt mixing and labor....I can't wait!  Start trying to guess what I'm building here. No, it's no kind of water feature.....I have enough water in my back yard.

I PUT DOWN MY CIGARETTES ON THURSDAY NIGHT.  I FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THIS.  I FEEL VERY SCARED OF FAILURE ABOUT THIS.  I CAN BREATH.

I have no idea what you are going to build there, most intriguing. A throne for Theo?

Good on you sweetheart for putting down the smokes.

Hi Pammie. I am new at this and created a blog: http://tryingtoadmit.blogspot.com/

I'm trying to connect with others who have a problem with alcohol. I'd appreciate a follow and feel free to share my blog name with others. Thank you.

Ohhhhhh YOU! I am so happy you put down your cigs. What a huge step toward health! I will be praying that each day you can keep putting them down again.

I was thinking if that structure wasn't right near the fence, it would be a great fire pit area.

Thats all I've got....if its not a water feature, or a fire pit, then what???

I agree that it's a fire pit.
It's certianly not a 1956 Cadillac.

So a it's not going to be a gigantic ashtray? I guess you could fill it full of hosta instead of butts. Maybe some periwinkle, I love periwinkle.

It's going to look wonderful without the cigarette butts and so are you.

Maybe a barbecue thing for outdoor cooking?? I was all over the water garden until you nixed that.

Glad that your lungs are smoke free!

Oh Pammie, I am so happy that you stopped smoking. As long as you don't put a cigarette in your mouth and light it, you can stay that way!

Hmmm...a meditation garden? Ooooo....that would be so cool.

You're a non-smoker! Doesn't that sound great!

Hey if I could do it then I KNOW YOU CAN!
