The weather has been a balm to the soul these last few days, and one of the tasks lately has been enlarging the garden.
In fact itโs more like a reinvention of the space, as we are adapting the land to welcome a pair of sheep soon (*gasp!*), and with fencing and all we are dreaming up what the garden can become. I may even have been spending a little bit too much time on Pinterest looking at gardens (my guilty pleasure).
But step by step, so for now we are making new terraced beds. Soon weโll remove the fencing around the first garden and just join everything together. Itโs slightly hard to explain, but youโll see it when itโs done and it will make sense.
Our good friend and neighbor Cecรญlia came to give a hand, and itโs always easier and more fun when there is company. (How I miss having visitors and friends passing by!)
Everything looks bare now, but there are little things here and thereโฆ In a few months, color and buzzing and abundance will return. In the meantime, hereโs some garden joy - in small, small doses.
Wishing you all a delightful march! ๐ฟ๐๐ป
