DIY Flower Bed, Before and After

Yesterday morning we woke up to a light frosting – pretty like frosting on a cake, and great weather for pick and shovel work. Which is just what The Berry and I set out to do. Last fall I bought tons (literally) of slate rock we found listed on Kijiji. And finally yesterday we completed our project of building a flower bed behind the house.

I’ve wanted to build something along this outer wall since the day we bought the place. And after a career of business suits and power meetings (which of course I was grateful to have), it feels great to be out sweating and working with my hands. Especially with a great partner by my side!

Now that Spring is ramping up (post-season snow notwithstanding), I’m sure many readers are beginning DIY projects – would love to hear about them!
