With all of the rain we've had--I swear it has been four months with only an occasional day with part sun...and, more recently one full day of sun...and, twice, two days in a row without rain (or only in the morning or overnight). So, with that, and working my regular job, an interpreting assignment twice a week, and Jeff and I teaching a class one day a week, there has not been much time for me to do much of anything outside. :(
I finally got around to hauling some more of the rocks that I got over the summer. My goal is to create some natural-looking rock outcroppings along the slope that leads to my pond & streambed project. I'm hoping I can create a cliff-like look.
Nothing is set in stone yet. ;) ...but I got a chance to play around with some possible groupings. It needs a lot, lot, lot more work to make it look right...but it felt great to get out and WORK!
I plan to put down some rubber roofing under the rocks, create cliff-like outcroppings, and a sandy soil over the rubber roofing, and add scree around the rocks. Here's hoping that I can make it look natural...and create a nice-looking spot for a streambed and waterfall(s).
I stayed out until dusk became rather dark. I've missed being out there...and I'm hoping to get in better shape again. Here's hoping I can do more before the ground freezes here. Then, once winter hits, I hope I enjoy the reprieve.
