More often than I care to admit I've plopped something in to an open spot. We had a nice cool summer and I took advantage of it, moving about 1/3 the plants in the garden a little at a time. I'm sure the tweaking will continue forever. <br /><br />I rarely, if ever rearrange furniture in the house, but I'm always rearranging the garden 'furniture.'garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-74963224468387324312009-10-06T05:40:27.891-07:002009-10-06T05:40:27.891-07:00Catherine I suppose we all take stock to some exte...Catherine I suppose we all take stock to some extent at this time of year.<br /><br />Your photos are lovely as always.
