I realized yesterday that the sand was too wet to do anything with and that string was needed to map out a straight line to get these bricks looking right. Got frustrated with the whole thing and went back inside and made these instead....

Today is another day and it`s supposed to actually be sunny, so I`ll try again.
I`ve been seeing on other blogs "100 Things You Never Knew About Me" and it`s been interesting to read them. I`ve never really thought about doing one myself because it might make for boring reading LOL. But I may make a list and post it sometime when my mind is blank and my camera has run out of batteries again.

Your garden looks so pretty with the mist in the air. I think the brick looks great.
And, yes, please do a 100 list. They are so much fun and it's always nice to learn things about a friend.
I think you're trying to sabotage my diet with those recipes! I'll concentrate on the flowers instead - is that a delphinium? What a fabulous shade of blue, and I agree with Janet that the mist adds a feeling of mystery to the garden picture. There could well be fairies and elves out there. Well, Janet said it looked pretty but same difference I think.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful morning at your home. It truly IS a lovely garden.
Rownan,
This blue flower is a larkspur but it does look like a delphimium.
Everything is so green and lovely. Everything in my yard is dried out and ready for fall. That brick work looks better every time you show it!
Your beautiful garden is looking so cottagey! We have a brick path just like that! It is hard work - but rewarding! Can't wait for more photos - and some of Elvis! Clare x
