Oh heck yeah. I could have my holy grail diamond or colored stone for the cost of this makeover. But, the garden will bring a different kind of enjoyment in a different way and I'm ready for that at this stage of my life. I keep thinking of all the jewel toned flowers I'll be able to enjoy, all the scents, all the texture, the soothing water and hum and buzz of insects, delightful notes from birdsong and it appeals to me in a homey, huggable, oasis-from-the-world way that a diamond or gemstone can't.Jambalaya|1467860045|4052372 said:Be honest...have you daydreamed about the piece of bling you could buy with your makeover money?

The fur brigade is staying in the catio and won't be munching their way through my garden. I'll grow them some catmint to take the sting out of their imprisonment.december-fire|1467944373|4052842 said:Every time I check back here for updates, I imagine the tranquility you'll feel when you're out in your yard. Unless, of course, your kids (Atticus, et al) decide to add some excitement to your life.

You could buy big geodes and put them in the backyard with floodlights on them. that's my plan. The big ones that stand 4 or 5 feet tall. What breed is Atticus? He's gorgeous. There is a new website Called houzz.com. Like Pinterest, but for housing stuff
