Long time - No Post

I haven't posted in a long time. I have been doing work in the yard, though. I really like building things and I did these two little beds around the Azaleas in the front:

I had some some border grass that I separated into pots this year to propagate and I planted three in front of each bed. All this brick work is temporary in nature. I did these very hastily, but I still used some of my underlayment gravel material under the bricks. Mostly I had a whim and acted without measuring or doing any layout.  The need was to bolster these Azalea bushes in their struggle to be established here. Later, I mulched all around the Azaleas and the border grass. Maybe this winter I will redo this into something a little more thought out.
We were working to get the house and yard in shape for the annual neighborhood yard sale and the "Block Party" which we hosted in our back yard. I get more done and I feel more creative when I have a deadline looming.
