Beauty belongs inside and out.  I have been working outside the studio these past few weeks, planting and improving my gardens.  First, I added a new garden; not that I need another garden! After digging up the old construction grass and weeds in front of my studio, I installed a new barrier border and covered the area with black plastic and cedar mulch.  Hopefully, this covering will eliminate unwanted re-growth.  Next spring, I will add prairie plants: little blue stem, purple prairie clover, butterfly weed, and large yellow indigo.
