Windmill Retain Wall

Jun 23 Windmill updates:
When we came home from outside and the tree was planted. Now I only need to plant some more flowers around the three and windmill, then this project would be finished



Finally it is a sunnday. In the early morning my husband brought the oldest one to swim practice at 5:45am then he went to work. After the practice end, he picked her back and came home to work on the reatain wall in the front. The girls all went out to help. But the girls' piano teacher has changed their lessone from this afternoon to morning so the girls just did whatever they could help out. Before noon the half circule of the retain wall was finished. I am thinking to put the tree in with some hosta around the base, but one request is the flowers of tree need to be "purple" color. The windmill, which my father-in-law made, will be in anther half circule. Then I will plant some turlips around in the fall. Look it I think I need to get a dutch boy and a girl then pain them to black and yellow(not blue and white) to match the school color. But my father-in-law thinks I should get a chinese boy and a girl as well.




The left side was working in process, then found the windmill would be too low. The blade will hit the wall if it turns to right. So after whole circule finished, the millwind was moved to left a little and raised a little high. It will look more nice after the tree and flower bulb plant.
