Monday Open House
I had a very productive weekend. I got a lot of yard work done. Weeding, mowing, marked out a new garden, and hauled in three truckloads of mulch. Oh, and my wife and I dug up and I moved a little rock that’s been in our way. (For reference, that’s a two foot level on top.) This new location will put it in the new garden, so it’s gone from lawn obstacle to garden ornament.
Here’s a picture of one of my favorite plants, Hen and Chicks, growing on one of my rock walls.

This edition of the Monday Open House is now open for business.
Random bits:
BittBox has a very large set of Free Hi-Res Watercolor Photoshop Brushes. I’ve been playing with them, they’re very slick.
