Wood, flat surfaces, varied height accent spikes, a libation or three, and a book or four...yes. This feels really good, more than ever.<br /><br />Also - I'm thinking of your weeks of extended warmth as a nice payback for or balancing of the extended chill and wet much of your spring.

It just looks so young in that photo becasue that area was the project that spring. Those comments! Ya, that was the good old days when blogging felt relevant.

Not a pebble out of place, the grass surrounding the square pavers are trimmed to perfection and ready for close-ups. <br />No cushions on chairs surrounding the dining table?<br />I bounced back to see A. ovatifolia in it's youth with a couple of companion agave. Shocking how small it was, shocking to see your garden in its toddlerhood, astonishing to see there were 62 comments back then... before Instagram I suppose. <br />The hanging creations on the fence behind the pavilion are always my favorite.<br />Dioon edule is amazing!
