THE CHERRY BLOSSOM REPRESENTS THE FRAGILITY AND THE BEAUTY OF LIFE. IT'S A REMINDER THAT LIFE IS ALMOST OVERWHELMINGLY BEAUTIFUL BUT THAT IT IS ALSO TRAGICALLY SHORT.

My Gardens, Before, During and after.
BEFORE 2012
The day we moved in. Weed filled gardens with no soil, and a weed filled driveway, yuck!
after clearing the blackberry and ivy from the yard
oh look, we found a tree! This was more during, because the yard was previously full of bramble and ivy. The pile under the tree is the very last bit.
wow, there is a concrete pad under all that rubble!
and we found a scooter, and another tree!
During 2012 - 2013
Center miounds and strawberry beds, with path to the park
The beginnings of the mounds
The beginnings of the mounds (center), the strawberry bed (right) and the park (top half of photo).
Stuff we dug out of the hill and bushes beside and behind the house. I didnt know so much could be buried in such a small space!
After 2013-2014
hundreds of strawberries!
Cobblestone, done by me. I had bare dirt and the grass would not grow because of polluted soil, so cobble it is!
Freecycled bathtub pond. has goldfish and a turtle too!
