2009 was hard work, wasn’t it? Sometimes rewarding, sometimes profitable, sometimes interesting… sometimes not. Once in a while though, some light would shine in through the clouds and make a rainbow. The project pictured above glows with all the colors that Shady Grove can paint. Dutifully cleaned, recycled brick makes up the steps and columns. Permeable flagstone system covers the patio. Four 4x4 flagstone slabs make for easy chair sliding under the table. Mom’s rescued lilac bushes bloom in the planter. Drip irrigation waters the herb garden. And a carpet of Zoysia covers the hillside. It all adds up to landscaping transcendence.
Metro Atlanta Landscape and Turf Association rewarded our hard work and diligence to striving for perfection with a coveted Award of Distinction last Tuesday night at their annual awards ceremony.
Thank you Nancy, for the opportunity to bring our landscape dreams to reality. Thank you to our outstanding crew for your creativity and long hours. Thank you to Walter Reeves, Bruce Holliday and all the judges at M.A.L.T.A. for choosing us.
Now excuse us, while we go stretch our arms wide...to pat ourselves on the back.
My hum-dinger of a resolution for 2010 involves being a better planner. As a rule, I loosely manage my time and am mostly efficient at getting things done. For instance, I don’t wear a watch, but am usually (amazingly) on time for appointments.
But this year, my goal is to become positively obsessive about managing my time. I bought a new day-timer, I made lists of to-do lists and set a date for each to be completed. It was in this process that I figured out my real time issue…
It’s you. Well, it’s really the nature of Spring. See, we don’t think about the glory of using our outside space until it’s warm and the air is fragrant. Unfortunately, that happens for all of us pretty much at the same time. And it really messes up the flow chart I have set up for the management of MY TIME!
Don’t put it off. If you want a fabulous, creative design from Shady Grove for this spring, call me now.
