I thought you might like to take a stroll through my yard with me. This has been a good weather year for plants and mine are flourishing.You will understand why we love being at home, puttering in the gardens and happy as can be!
Grab a drink and sit back and enjoy...it's a lot of pictures! Let's start in the front yard...
NOTE: An interesting fact about our home. The rock wall in front and there is one in back are the original foundation stones from the farmhouse that could not be saved that was across the street when this was a farm. Now a thirteen house subdivision. Our home was the first built in this new subdivision 16 years ago (we have owned it 10+). The rock corners on our home are real rock from the rock quarry and a talented guy was able to form the brick around the stone. Most homes now have what is called cultured stone, that is cement made to look like stone.
We are the third house in and no one can build in front or back, so it is very private! Lucky us...
From this garage sale wheelbarrow...
to this...
We used compost soil to fill this old wheelbarrow. A hidden seed of a gourd or pumpkin must have been hiding in there. Can't wait to see what develops so I know what this green leaf vine is...and see Bella in the window looking out? She has such a hard life!
A used Robins nest that I was going to decorate with...until my hands became full of mites while carrying it. It is staying outside!
This wagon is 75 years old. My mother received it from my grandparents when she was 1 year old.
