This has to be about the fourth or fifth straight week of almost only rain. If we had a few clear days when the rain stopped and things started to dry off, then it was a lot.  The rain has caused huge ruts in my driveway.  My husband has not been happy about working in the rain, so our greenhouse work has been minimal. However, things have been happening!

Here is a picture in rare dry monment enjoying the yard.  In the background notice that Alana and I planted a garden and used more recycled garden wall blocks in front of the greenhouse. I have Burning Bush, Variegated Lirope, and Dwarf Japanese Holly bushes in the new garden.




The entry way to the carriage house and greenhouse is a mucky wet pool!  I am solving the problem and started installing rustic looking pavers in the entry way.




Today we bought a few inexpensive shelves to just get our greenhouse started. For granted, we have a little bit of patio brick work left and our roof vent window is on back order, but it is starting to look, smell and feel like a greenhouse!








And thats it for now!  As the rain starts to mold this keyboard, I will hope for the best and try to get more work done soon! 

Ps -- talk about green recycling. Our neighbor got us a trio of diamond-paned large windows to use in our family room. They are reclaimed from the Navesink Country Club, which is undergoing renovations in some of their buildings. So...we own a piece of history now for the newest room in our house!
