The walk from the mud room to the garden.
The back deck.
The brick grill.
Plants! And a lawn mower! And a composting bin!
I "gardened" for the first time this morning. I did take down one clothes line, but one of the spiders made a convincing argument for leaving the other one up. Namely, he refused to get off of it and climbed inside a clothes pin.
Because there are so many spiders, I decided there wasn't much I could do without gloves. I did trim back the rosemary plant. You can't tell in the picture, but there is another plant between the rosemary and the bigger leafy shrub. It has sent out long tendrils, I think because it was not getting enough sunlight. Maybe it will now.
I also mowed, but I'm not sure I made much of an improvement. The lawn mower blades may need sharpening.
I found moldy things in the compost bin. The pamphlet on the refrigerator about the compost bin says it probably needs more nitrogen-creating compostable material. Hopefully the grass clippings I put in today will help.

we didn't see a picture of the bidet, but all else looks elegant; try to share with the spiders - could be a children's book!
Looks like a nice cozy English cottage. Love the idea of Rosemary taking over the garden. Fresh Rosemary in olive oil or infused is delicious on sliced potatoes or veggies.
As for the spiders, they bring good luck in money matters. The spider in its web is believed to attract its prey; thus the spider amulet is believed to attract money to the bearer.
Love, Clark and Rhonda
