I'm sure it will be beautiful when it's planted, regardless of what you put into it. I like things that retain their beauty through the winter - especially evergreens like spreading junipers and mugo pines, deciduous shrubs with interesting shapes or colours - redtwig, for instance. |

They are beautiful in the winter also. the diablo ninebarks also have dark purple bark which is beautiful coming through the snow. But then again if we get as much snow next winter as we did this winter you won't be able to see anything that isn't a tree. |

The pavers have been laid, the fountain should be here in a few weeks, big party at the church this coming Sunday for our Pastor who has been reassigned, he's been instrumental in all the work we've done. Praise God. Attachments:     |

some more, the crosses you see in stone in the walls were saved from the convent that was torn down to make way for the new school. The large stone header in the corner garden is the date the convent was built 1925, along with the Sacred hearts next to them. The building was torn down about 8 years ago and we held on to a lot of the architectual detail from the building. Attachments:     |
