Cleo, weep for us.

Upon entry to the grounds of Chateau Acorn, one is greeted by the marshlands...










We decided to make the area more accessible by creating a streambed to divert water from flooding the meadow. (More on this project in coming posts.)

In the meantime, our first attack on this swampland was to plant a weeping willow which would be amenable to the site and have a predisposition to wet. Mssr. Acorn and I digging and planting...










As with many things at Chateau Acorn, there is a penchant towards anthropomorphism. We look forward to many long years ahead of weeping and sighing boughs...













Her name is Cleo.
