I’ll dispense with the usual preamble and get right into it. Here’s some of the best of what I was loving on the web last week.

Heather shared some great drought-tolerant perennials for her garden. It was just the kind of post I needed in deep, dark midwinter.
I’ve been trying to play around with new furniture placement in the office (sliding doors, closets, a regular door and big windows are seriously complicating the issue), and I found this great room planner on the Pottery Barn website. I like that it allows you to drop in PB furniture or generic furniture sketches and then change the size.
I don’t have a pond for many reasons (not the least of which is that I don’t need an on-site Newf pool), but I admire beautiful ponds in other people’s gardens. Melissa shares a great tip on how to have a crystal clear pond without using chemicals.

And if you do have a pond, you can also have a very cool pond house.
I was happy that Eric asked me back to his Gardenfork podcast again. I always have a great time talking to him, but I’ll be honest: I never listen to the podcasts after the fact. I cannot stand my own voice. I should probably just get over that, right? Anyway, check it out … it was a fun one.
I hope you all had a great weekend! Guess what … it’s February!
