Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
As I wrote last week, we built a flower bed beside the house, and The Berry has been itching to try out her green thumb since we bought the place. Which is exactly what she did this weekend. She almost finished, but we need more plants (another excuse to hit up Kijiji! You can find anything on there!)
These plants are like us – we got them last year, and they wintered at our place in St. John’s. Now they too are beginning a new life in the Wonderful World of Whiteway!
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!
