Culling

I visited my folks' house today. Much of the social space in their yard is deck. I like what they've done with some well placed planters. When I got home to our yard, I was energized (OK, and the sun was out and it wasn't freezing).

Area C1 -- Clipped back the dead ornamental grass straw clumps to prepare the bed for the rose bush from Area A1. By the end of the week, we should have three roses in a row along the east fence instead of rose, weeds, rose, funny looking ornamental grass, rose, dead rhubarb.

Area A2 -- Swept out the dirt from when the patio was flooded with some help(?) with The Child. Cleared some of the more odious detritus and managed to reclaim some of the patio space.
