GOLD

 It took 3 days (2 were afternoon only) of shoveling, but I have most of the front top dressed.  I say most because there are 2 beds not complete, makes no sense to top them off yet.  Of course, I CANNOT wait to fill in all the empty spots!

A neighbor drove up and wanted to talk, I'm sorry it's in 2 parts.

It is very gold, lol - but it softens over time.  Somehow it all looks more natural as time goes on and plants get larger.  We did get light rain yesterday, finally.  Today I spent the afternoon weeding while the ground was softened.  More rain forecast for next week.  

I had enough gold fines leftover to spruce up the pathways in the back with a fine coat & a bit of raking.  

I l💚ve when the sun is a bit higher in the sky and starts hitting more of the back garden.  

The Dudleya are looking February fine, as they do.  Dudes.

The spruced up pathways give it a boost. 

Thankfully the aloes didn't suffer from the rain, hopefully next week is the same. 

This Boophone looks like it's growing horns, ole'

A Happy Valentine's, or Galentine's Day to everyone!
