Yes, I have been lost in my garden lately.
Finally, warm weather washed over this part of the world
and provided an opening for planting
of sorts.....

Work... necessary but it can get in the way.....
Of what?
Well, my plans....

So, I asked.... a gardener that I admire and perhaps envy...

It all started with....

the boss.
He is still chuckling over his photo.... you can see that here.....
He wanted a fire on a day when I was thinking spring would arrive...
Problem was...
It appeared spring had other plans

But, he ignited the idea... ouch... sorry I could not resist.....
and well, when those mechanisms up there start to turn and creak and turn some more....
I get busy.
Busy planning.

Fireplace oh Fireplace.... what art thou?

This exercise has been satisfying and frustrating all at the same time.
I love a variety of the fireplaces that I have come across but the reality is that I have to live with certain restrictions....
geez.... I don't like restrictions!!
I mean the fact that our floor space is small but that darn ceiling is soooo high...
It does not make the decision easy....
who ever said cathedral ceilings are lovely.... perhaps has not lived with them??
Anyway, I am narrowing it down to a few possibilities....
one is that the stone or the brick may need only be apparent within a wooden mantle and surround
as below.....
