The North Fence, Crabby Pool, and Faux Paint
The patchouli on the north side of the house continues to grow like a weed. I swear it couldn't love any other climate in the world better than this (zone 9b, S. FL). The marigold grew in the tomato cages because last year, I threw the dead marigold heads behind the tomato plants. The tomato plants burned up months ago. Marigolds are commonly planted near tomatoes for deter bad insects. The rosemary hasn't ever looked better and I KNOW it's because I aggressively trim it. I can't possibly use all the rosemary I have, so I always feel guilty putting the trimmings in the trash.
It must be blue land crab season again. We found the first swimmer of the season in the pool this week. Here are the swimmers of the past. Two years ago, we had them during the first week of July and again in October.
Finally, here's the completed shot of the faux finishing job that we did in the kitchen. It really turned out great and I owe a good two days of labor to my two friends for their help.
