    Well, *I* certainly do! So here you go....my daughter's garden before I took it over, and now (well, yesterday) after some work.

    And then here's one from directly in front of the house. I went up the hill at 6.00 a.m. yesterday morning and gathered the rest of the rocks I needed to finish all the borders around the various plots. I like the way it's all coming together.

    Those stones look smashing Ronni. What a difference you've made to your daughter's garden. She must be so proud of it and you. Well done!! :D

    Oh my goodness, that looks so much better after you worked your gardening magic on it. What's your next project? Is there a back yard garden waiting for your touch?

    KK, I'd love a vacation....always wanted to go to Malaysia! :)

    Thanks everyone.

    Frank, "tidy" and "arranged" are two of the words Paige used to describe what she wanted it to look like. Personally I prefer a bit less symmetry and a bit more "english garden" look, but whatever, at least I get to work in the dirt! ;)

    Paige and William are both pretty tickled at the difference. Paige specifically requested the "before and after" pics so she could add them to the "House and Home" album she keeps.

    This is their first house, and when they decided to build instead of buy a fixer upper or a starter home, they documented every step of the process, so they now have a lovely album of their house as it was being constructed, the move, and the evolution of the inside. Now they have some outside images to add to the mix, to show that progression too. :)
