To improve the view

     With my new large picture window, I felt I needed to improve the view through it.  I planted some boxwoods, which I will eventually shear into a single mass, called a tamamono in Japanese.  I added a mound of ground, then placed some Anomodon rostratus moss on it.  So, in a year or two I should have the perfect view.

A whole new look

     I always loved the view from my kitchen out the dining room window, which overlooks my Japanese-style garden.  But I could never see as much as I wanted to, so in late August I had a large picture window installed.  Eight feet wide, so that is quite large.
     I could not be happier with my expanded view.  It is almost like being outside while still being inside.
