The New Wall

Yesterday Gary Marineau and his son, Tristan, stopped by to check on our progress and offer a few tips. They seemed to think the wall would stand up, which was good to hear. Today, in tremendous wind, we managed to get a fair amount done. Marianne has one end backfilled with a soil and sand mix, in preparation for planting creeping thyme or something else that will nestle itself in and around the capstones.

The garden is looking wonderful. There's a monkshood blooming amongst the chysanthemums in Flavia's garden, that just sings. We need a dozen more of them.
