Early spring in my Japanese garden.

Late spring in my Japanese garden.

Summer in my Japanese garden.

Fall in my Japanese garden.

Sun is out, it’s 54 degrees, so I gave my Japanese gravel garden it’s first cleaning of 2025. Felt good to be out working with the rake! Got the hammock out too. Still works fine. 😀

1st shot today, 2nd late spring, 3rd summer, 4th fall.

My Bearded Iris after the rain. Incredible creatures!

The lesson learned is…NEVER let your kids get their hands on the gravel rake! 😂 The last image is a more “subtle”, “gentler” effort by me.

They gifted me the rake for Father’s day, so I forgive them for their excessive “exuberance”.
