see how my garden grows

I spent most of today digging through receipts (paper and digital) to prep for 2007 taxes. Definitely feeling like I am clearing out dead energy, like fallen leaves. Good, but tedious!

I took a break in the middle to go to Home Depot to get a new pump for the stone water fountain I bought from Gilman Salvage. I also bought a carved wooden bench there, it looks like a snake with legs. Very appropos for the Snake House ;)

Now I have a little garden all to myself, in what was once a hill of dirt. I even have a little secret alcove among the bamboo for a laughing buddha and some small plants that surround him. Today I cleaned, assembled and finished the fountain (it has tiers that look like flowers) and planted all the plants around it. It looks so lovely!

Tomorrow I'll try to take some pictures before work to add to this post.
