These low, spreading junipers need a couple of years to really start to fill in. They’ve begun to really make a difference when it rains. You can see them better, now that some of the leaves have fallen from their neighbors.

From lower left corner, clockwise: tiger lily foliage, groundcover juniper, eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), weeping willow “teenager” in the backacre, alder foliage on this side of the pond, some distant autumn tree colors, a big white rock, tamed grapevine and brambles, blanket flowers (galliardia) that are still blooming. In the middle, a favorite – beautyberry (callicarpia).
