Progress

Del’s comment: Nostril? Eye? Any progress is better than none — makes me think perhaps in progress shots are not the best idea. Nothing is ever set in stone and I am not opposed to taking out a section – even when quilting is in progress if I am not happy with it! In this case the eye is there. The nostril is not there yet. I have not been terribly motivated to work on this; I am finding it a challenge to work without much contrast and I am hoping that getting the antlers in place will pull in the needed lights.

Over a period of a few days working in the morning while it is still cool, I re-did these steps from the deck to the shade garden. The steps at the top were too shallow and not well spaced and I thought, dangerous.

Also the planting spaces at the top were full of big day lilies reaching for the sun with long spindly leaves threatening to trip you. So I dug out a big wheelbarrow load and replaced them with some tiny euonymus, coleus and fuchias.

    I actually like seeing your works in progress, especially when you show another photo explaining what you changed and why!

    Your steps look like they are inviting one into a cool haven in this summer heat. I’m more vocal about the heat as I get ‘older’ and can remember a time when I didn’t even think of it.

    I could use your gardening skills at my house. Husband planted tomatoes in my flower garden near front door so they would have sun so I didn’t get to plant usual geraniums. I had suggested he do it along the south side of the house which would need a bit of rockwork done in advance. Do have red impatients to look at out the “studio” windows.
