Spring on the Mountain
Even though summer has arrived quite convincingly, I am still in a spring state of mind. With able and dedicated assistance I am in the process of completely changing the look of my mountain home. The Moonlady Ravine is undergoing an Extreme Makeover.
The overgrown perennials have been removed from what is now a beautiful meadow of vinca. Mick, the treeman put down the tall, double-trunked cedar tree that has been slowly dying for years and hauled it away. Smaller gangly trees and bushes have been taken out. Scraggly azalias, gone.
A new driveway will be built--actually two; one will be for the guest house. An extension to the deck is being designed, orienting the steps towards the newly reworked garden path. The final change will be paint color, yet to be determined. The Moonlady Ravine has always been a beautiful place but it is becoming more beautiful by the day.
