My brother, Dennis is not just my Hawaii based techie for my computer needs (not to mention Photoshopper), but is also my master landscaper.
Ever since we planted our Satsuma tangerine in March of this year, I've been unhappy with the appearance of its surroundings.
Dennis tried to help by rearranging a few rocks, but he said we needed more.
So we went to Home Depot and bought a couple of bags of heavy medium sized rocks.
We had a hard time picturing what his vision was as he progressed, but it soon began to take shape. Art had to go back and pick up two more bags of those medium rocks. The heavy bags were broken so they gave him 25% off. Wonderful!
Once he was done, we could see his yin-yang concept. Mom was thrilled and so were we. Here you can see the wet and dry version of the garden spot.
Eventually, the tangerine tree is supposed to grow to be about ten feet tall. I'm already picturing how beautiful it will look with the lovely rock garden below it.
Did I tell you Dennis is also a good mechanic?

You are lucky to have such a talented and willing brother! He did a beautiful job. At our house I would still have to weed between the rocks all summer.
ReplyDeleteI love what Dennis did. Truly a gifted artist. Dianne
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to have a talented brother near by. The rock garden looks much more polished and professional now.
ReplyDeleteHe is so talented! I love the rock garden and wonder if he ever comes to Washington state... :-)
ReplyDeleteThis man's a keeper. My brother can do some of everything, too. I'm having him train my grandson:-)
ReplyDeleteCracks me up to think you have to pay money for rocks! We've got more on our property than we know what to do with. Your brother did a great job.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and it is extra special since it is the work of your very talented brother.
ReplyDeletehow fun...good you've got strong men around to carry the rocks...lol!
ReplyDeleteThat's just lovely. What an improvement. Maybe one gigantic rock on the right side. :)
ReplyDeleteHe was actually wanting a couple of bigger rocks, but we'd already bought those middle size ones. The fake bigger size ones cost over $100 a piece. Sigh. It was too steep, I'm afraid.
DeleteLots of talent with each person in your families!

lt looks beautiful! Wonderful brother you have!
ReplyDeletelooks much better
ReplyDeleteHi, Kay: Could you please tell Dennis that I have an acre that I would gladly allow him to have free rein with, turning it into a Japanese garden! Can't wait for him to come visit!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this! You have a whole acre??? Wow! I'll pass on the message to Dennis. Too funny!
DeleteIt visually suggests a river meandering through hills.
ReplyDeleteNice to have a brother with talent! I like the rocks. Wonder how long before you get tangerines.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful job your brother did with the rocks. It would never have occurred to me to do something like that. You are indeed blessed.
ReplyDeleteYour brother is a man of many talents! The rocks look great. And I am impredded by how well your little tree is growing.
ReplyDeleteA great brother and it looks so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't I have a brother like that?
ReplyDeleteI have to laugh when I hear about people having to buy rocks. We have so many for free! When the grandkids and I were playing at building forts in the wadi, I told them the old tale why Israel has so many millions of stones everywhere: Every Jew who returns to the homeland from the Exile, a stone falls from his heart. But Dean and Eyal, being sons of scientists, argued that this is not scientifically possible. I tried to convince them that sometimes even engineers have to looks at things as poets and mystics.
I wish everybody could have a brother like him. I love the vision of the stone falling from the weary heart. We do have rocks in Hawaii, just not close by and it's usually on private property. Also, big rocks are very heavy and fake rocks that look like real rocks are super expensive.
DeleteWhat a treat!
