But.. We’d just finished working on Jack’s nursery for the last year or so and I didn’t want to start on any big projects.

Oh, and that pot?You want to know about that pot?

You mean the awesome crackly, aged, rope-edged work of art there?Yeah, I saw you eyeing that up.. Well, it’s actually so aged that it’s in three pieces, with the potted fern sitting inside.I refuse to part with it though.. Love the flip flops and rain boots.

The pot belonged to our neighbor in our old house.She was the most wonderful gardener.

One of these ladies who dug up her whole lawn to replace it with a perfectly timed botanical symphony that lasted all year.

It was a little magical what she did in that little townhouse garden..As you can see, though, I have a fair amount of space left to fill in to fulfill my flowery visions..

The free mulch sure helps though.Check out your local recycling centre.

Maybe you can get free natural mulch too!I debated back and forth a bit with myself this week about whether or not to show you yet another update on my front hall.I’ve already shown you soooo many photos of a half-finished hall, how much more can you really take?
