The tall fence posts will be trimmed down to 6ft and we hope to install a blue bird nesting box, or two, at the further end of the fence, just inside of which will be one of the two multi-stemmed white birch trees.
We are hoping the white gravel path will be laid this week...

As things take shape in the garden, the gift of our dream becoming reality is more and more evident.
Here is a photograph of the last day of work on the fire pit...
And this is our team checking out the design before they began to plant...
In an interesting convergence of people and time and place, it turns out that the woman planting was a student of mine at the massage school where I teach, and a friend from my childhood was here to help put the bluestone sculpture in place earlier last week...and by "help" I mean he single-handedly lifted a 500 pound stone and put it in to anchor Nicholas' vision for what our designer is calling his mini-Stonehenge...have a look...my friend, Jeff, is 6'10" tall, with an unearthly strength...he says it is all leverage, nice to have a gentle giant around when hundreds of pounds of stone need hefting...
This last photograph was taken standing on the patio, looking down what will be a white-pebbled path to the fire pit area...lined with box, dianthus and iris...there will be peonies and lavenders added...and tomorrow we hope the trees will arrive....
What a joy to witness the unfolding steps...
