Moonlight Gardening

We hadn't intended to stay up so late. But the moon was nearly full, and the evening was mild.

It all started with a desire to landscape. Then a shopping trip for plants and flowers led to an all day project. Dante' and I crouched over the dirt for hours. She constructed an absolutely beautiful stone path up the hill to the yard. Maxwell sat on the steps and kept us company as we worked.

In the end, we worked solely by the glow of the outside porch light. It wasn't until my husband came home that we all went inside. Dinner was served at 10:30 pm. Sweet Maxwell was asleep by 11:00.

Waking up this morning was thrilling. How would it all look in the daylight?

We are far from finished, but the results so far are exciting.

Perhaps we were called by the moon.
