An Unadorned Garden Plan of il Poggiolo...

Pretty darn rudimentary. You'd think I could have come up with a better color-scheme. However, I was lucky to find any colored pencil in La Casetta. The bordeaux, grey & blue pencils were left by an unwitting child. She probably left them behind because they are so dull.
OK...
an explanation of the above scheme...
bordeaux is for anything with a roof: the houses, sheds and an oven. I am comforted that the area of the houses out-weight those of the sheds. After all, the place WAS a farm. Grey is for the stone walls. Lots of those. And the blue is for that speck of water of the Fish Swimming Pool, which, thanks to the leaves of the persimmon tree way up by the Upstairs Apartment... not yet marked on the plan... is now the color of what would look to be an acid dump in Bayonne, New Jersey!!! One of the many, many tasks this weekend will be to empty the pool, clean it of its water-staining leaves and fill it up again, so I can dump some Flora of water lilies & Fauna of some cute gold-fish in it.
In my next installment, I will draw-in the various plant-life I have ruined my back & hip plonking them down into Fertile Mother Earth. Bet you cannot wait to see that, can you? Gads.
