First Friday Fotos - April 2012

Believe it or not it's April already, and you know what that means - time for First Friday Fotos. Things are looking a little more green today, with whatever that plant is growing in the corner of the near bed seeming to perk up and start growing a bit, although his cabbage friend that's appeared in previous photos is gone. It should be time to start planting soon, and we should start seeing some real progress out there. The photo was snapped around 8:30 this morning.

Just for fun we're adding a quarterly wrap-up so you can see all of the shots in one place, or if you want to see them full-sized you can link to January, February, and March by clicking on the links. I think so far January is my favorite.

Path Progress

So here is the path with the gravel and they've also put in a small paver entrance and marked out where new planting beds will be going in on either side of the glass doors.

Our Path is Clear

With the nice weather we've been having, Open Aire Affairs has been able to get started on the new gravel path that will connect the wedding and party tent to both the back door of the Visitors' Center and the existing macadam pathway that leads to the parking lot and the Keith House.

They've removed the sod, laid weed-blocking landscape fabric, and put in the edging. They're working right now on raking in the red pea gravel that will compose the path, so we'll hopefully have a completed path to show you shortly. The plan with the edging is to bank dirt along the outside and reseed so that we'll be able to drive over the path to access the barn ramp and provide a more natural transition. Our first wedding of the season is scheduled for June 16.
