Construction on Two Holt’s addition ended in the fall of 2016. Directly behind the addition was horrible! Well of course it was bad. We had just dug out a basement in that area. We’d look at that mess and say, “We’ll fix it up later.” Pedro did add a retaining wall for us, but it was a raggedy mess behind the wall. Next we bought a pallet of sod and laid it. Phil built fence sections and gates to enclose the area. It was still a raggedy mess behind the wall. We planted pots of perennials. We decided not to plant directly in the ground so Boots wouldn’t ‘water’ the plants. Behind the wall was still a raggedy mess. But now we can declare Boots’ Run officially finished! We filled in behind the wall with good soil and planted seven Lee’s Dark Purple hybrid rhodies, two Little Lime hydrangeas, and a Waterfall Japanese maple. We’ve still got a project or two left on the list for this area. Notice how the back door hasn’t been painted? And the deck landing needs staining. And we want to add a covered stoop over the landing. Geeze. Will the projects ever end?
