Our New Raised Garden Beds in Land Park

New raised garden beds and flagstone walkway in Land Park.

It was difficult to tear down the spa and replace it with raised garden beds in Land Park because I had been attached to the status quo. I’m like my husband in that way, you know, we like our stable life because it’s something we are used to, it’s comfortable, we can rely on it even when everything else around us in our businesses can be chaos, home is a sanctuary. We don’t want things to change.

Maybe we get it from the cats. Yeah, shut up already, that’s where it comes from. You know how it is when you live with cats. Bring in a new piece of furniture, like, say, a coffee table, and you can’t just plunk down that table anywhere you please and leave it without offering a formal introduction to the cats. Every delivery box has a cat’s name on it: Amazon. They never met an empty box they did not love but a piece of furniture, an intrusion, is another story.

Even though as a Sacramento Realtor I help clients make adjustments when their living environment no longer suits their needs because life changes, it is still a bit of a struggle to glance out my family room window at the yard and not see the spa and deck. Although, I will admit I’ll soon get over it because I will quickly adjust to the new yard with the raised garden beds in Land Park. I make adjustments faster as I get older.

I read an article in Vogue about Amy Schuler, which relates to this. She talked about Chris Rock saying how fast women get used to shit. Like his wife checking out a high-end hotel like The Ritz. Ooo, the floor-to-ceiling columns; oh my gosh, the beautiful marble bath. Next thing you know she’s on the phone: Cinnamon Toast. I relate to that. Let’s not talk about the oceanfront cottage at the Four Seasons and a request for 10 blueberries with plain non-fat Greek yogurt.

My husband and I each get a raised garden bed. You can see the photo of our raised garden beds in Land Park above. I think you can figure out which one is mine.
