If you recall, last spring (May 5, 2025), we talked about making our home and garden more age-appropriate. It has been a lot of work, but we are making progress — and here’s a preview of what we’ve been up to.
Remember the stair-step deck by the craft studio?
It is no more!
The new setup makes planting and caring for the lantanas much easier.
We’ve talked about ground covers before, and we love the micro clover so much that we added another bed.
The creeping thyme continues to thrive beautifully.

We are considering adding a few more ground covers in the future.
While concentrating on drought-hardy perennials, we also installed additional soaker hoses in preparation for the expected summer drought. Garden hoses were repositioned as well, making watering much easier and more convenient.
More changes are still in progress. If all goes as planned, we’ll soon be sharing photos of the entire garden.
Even with a very busy spring season, we still found time to take a few breaks. We traveled to College Station to attend Captain’s 55th high school reunion
and a visit with our good friends Don and Anne in College Station, Texas. Anne is an accomplished Master Gardener, and ABN always leaves her garden feeling refreshed and inspired.
During a weekend trip to St. Louis, we met up with family and attended a dance performance at the St. Louis Dance Theater featuring our granddaughter, Camille.
Since it was a professional performance, we did not take photos during the show, but we were granted permission to use some from St. Louis Dance Theater.

Now it is time to get back to work. Stay tuned for the reveal of our next major gardening project — coming soon!
