I know what you mean by crap spring weather. Last few days we've been in the mid 60's.
Be looking forward to see the finished project.

Sloooooooooooooooooooow progress but hey we are getting there one day at a time when its nice out.. LOL!! We have a whole week rain comming in so looks like we will be working inbetween when its not raining. Everything we are doing takes time its a royal pain to chop dig and shake off the dirt from the top layer of lawn/weeds hubby is using the dirt i clean for the mound around the cascades and i load the grass/weeds/roots and dump in the woods, the main walk way i just started on, had to dig and level where the swing is now, will look awsome once i edge that done and fill with mulch around and under the swing that conects to the one walkway there will be 2 more conecting walkways. Got the one back pannel up behind where the swing is sitting. Heres whats done so far.
With rain in the forcast and everything else going on it might take me 2 more weeks to get alot more done.
Will update again as we go..

Was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering how the work was going, as we had not seen any updates for a while. It looks great! What a fantastic satisfaction you must be getting seeing it all coming together. Brilliant!!!

Holy mackerel! You have been busy! Too bad about the lack of rain - hope you get some soon. We just got a bit over an inch - maybe that storm will make it over to you.
How are things looking inside the greenhouse? (hind hint)

Thank you Tony and John. I try its nothing fancy but its good enough for us. The sun has been BRUTAL this yr and its been in the 90's some of the hostas got alittle sunburned since they were not use to so much sun, but thats ok they will make a real nice come back next spring and will be totaly use to full sun like my others are around the yard. I still need to go and collect my swamp ferns and mosses to place around the pond and i have some nice river driftwood to place out there to. We still have not had any rain and things around here are suffering BADLY
its terrible we should have had tons of rain storms already this yr but we havent.
