My muscles are sore this morning after working in the yard all day (see my post from yesterday
Taking Out the Arborvitaes). It was a beautiful day, though, and we finished it off with a campfire before going out to dinner at
King Curry, one of our favorite local restaurants. Here's a clip of how serene our backyard was last evening. Adam and I enjoyed a drink in the corner of the yard, admiring all of our work at the end of the day:
Today is a rainy day, and I've spent most of the day indoors after allowing myself just an hour or so of gardening this morning. I don't mind gardening in the rain, in fact, I find it quite pleasant.
It's about time we pick up more Montana cobble from
Smith Rock, Inc. At some point, I'll order a whole pallet of them, but for now, I prefer to pick out the ones I like the best.

Blue wildrye and blue-eyed grass will join the other water-loving natives along our rain garden. It's hard going from the old arborvitae root systems that are pervasive along the bank of our rain garden, but slowly, I am amending the soil and working them out.

I hope this blue-eyed grass propagates, as I am excited to have these in my garden. They should do well along our rain garden, as they thrive in moist conditions. Thank-you for reading! x o , Karli
