Rambler Row is started - and I found my camera battery

 It was a cool overcast day, so I decided to skip the last two pots in the bed I was working in and do a bigger project. Enough of the lawn was finally dead to run a row of weed barrier for the beginning of Rambler Row. Currently the row is 4' wide and 50' long and took a bajillion loads of mulch.. lol

The only thing planted in here thus far is the rose Above and Beyond- I planted it awhile ago because I found it at a nursery in June and wasn't going to pass on it until the row was ready. I have a few roses that started as small bands that are temporarily in my regular garden- but will need to move to this row where they will have room to lean forward without being on top of a neighbor. I have a John Cabot, William Baffin, Hansa and a Celsiana that all seem like they will be a bit too bulky for the regular garden. They will move to this row first thing in the spring. With the direction of the sun, I believe I can run a row of ramblers and baptisia along the side towards the road and a row of irises behind them and everything should get enough sun. Of course, if I'm wrong, I know how to move everything again. I'm good at moving everything again.. lol

When we moved a couple of years ago, I misplaced the charger and battery for my DSLR but was too stubborn to buy a new one because I knew it would turn up. Well, that magic moment was today. Spouse dug to the back of his closet and found my backpack which he had mistaken for his old backpack- happy day, there was my charger and battery.

So now my photos will be mediocre instead of wildly bad because I have never gotten good at photography. It's okay though, I enjoy it despite the just okayish results.

And, just because, my grubby little garden 'helpers'.. lol
