little projects

 Even though I haven't mentioned many house projects lately, it doesn't mean they aren't' still there. Oh they are, I've just accepted them as part of the fabric of my life. But some things -

 are a time sensitive situation.

This is my front gate. By all appearances, puh-LENTY of room for peoples to travel into my property.

 

But for some reason that little patch of ground, just inside the gate post, always gets trampled. 

I am baffled. 

This year the little crocuses I transplanted a couple of years ago have appeared. They have never bloomed due to the trampling. 

 This year, in an attempt to preserve the poor little crocuses, I decided to move the dirt back and put bricks where people trample.

 

It didn't' take long, maybe 15 minutes. I added about 6 inches(18cm) to the "walkable" space there in the front. 

It is supposed to be warm for the next few days so maybe the crocuses will bloom.

That will be a nice "welcome home."
