Just a few images I’m entertaining in my mind as I wait for the Snowpocalypse (of which there’s no sign as of 4 p.m. EST). Still planning what to do in the new garden space adjacent to the house addition.

Yes, where’s our snow? I like your choice of inspiration for your new garden area. Susie
I’ve always loved cloister gardens – their innate sense of calm, the symmetry and the feeling of enclosure from the world. Good luck with the plans!
Thank you! Yes, I love them, too. So perfectly calming.
