What a beautiful garden, shed and rat killing snake. :) I especially like the stone walls and paths. My father would have been in seventh heaven there.

thats where I work... it's a Beatrix Farrand garden. my garden is smaller and far more modest, and no stone walls!!!

it's a lovely spot, even in winter.
waiting for some snow, it's v.pretty with a blanket of white

My dad brought rocks of all sizes and shapes to our last house before this one and made all kinds of raised flower beds for his tulips, rhododendrons and azaleas. He really missed it when we moved back into the city. I wish I could scan some of the pictures I took of it over the years and share them. He was a true gardener.

wow your dad must have had true vision (and a good back!) I'm not sure I could conceptualize stonework, in terms of stacking the rocks so they stay up without mortar. If you have any photos you should share them!! I'd love to see

I'll have to go to the basement and dig through the bags of pictures we took over the years.
