Gardening requires lots of water -- most of it in the form of perspiration

Progress in garden land. The gravel and beds are in. Right now it looks a lot like our trip to Arizona... rock gardens! However, once the plants are in, and the flowers grow... it will look quite nice. I plan to "accessorize" with a bistro table and chairs, a market umbrella, some potted plants in the gravel areas, too.

You can make out a shed like thing in the picture. It has cute window flower boxes and Bob and I plan to turn it into a play house for Charlotte. We were thinking it could be Charlotte's "thoughtful place" like where Pooh hangs out in the hundred acre-wood. Of course we'd have to spell it incorrectly like they do in classic Pooh... because I think it would be really cute!
