🍀 Day-off ramblings 🍀
Yard snow accumulation slowly dissipating, revealing opportunity! We’ve had our pool set up in same spot past few years - noted by the bare spot in pics.
Rob and I have chatted and dreamed lots of what to do with ‘this space’. Still feeling rather fresh in some ways, to this property - knowing better to take care of which project vs which project. We need to keep access for now but I feel one day we’ll have a natural pool of sorts here.
But this clover lawn idea - I’m feeling this lately. Weather warming up, and got to enjoy a Robin singing in the tree this morning 💜. Even if just a temporary cover, broadcasting clover (maybe mix with some of our perennial thyme)…..could benefit on many levels. 🐝
2nd pic, that pipe and eaves you see - it’s our extremely temporary solution for sub pump water dispersal. We have what we call, ‘River Tress’ and this sub pump water gets pumped out and moved across, away from home site, to our ‘triangle garden’ acre.
But damn what a resource to just pump away. Considering how early the pumps are pushing out already - I mean, no surprise given the moisture accumulation this past season - but to slow it down, to trap n store for another use later when needed…..the concept of human intervention in design, it’s quite fascinating to me. Water is the forefront in design concepts (first WATER, then access, then structures).
Here’s to clover! Grow it, don’t mow it 💜

Happy Monday!
