This is the front of the house:
 |
| The roses bloom all summer long. |
 |
| We just planted these pots. |
 |
| Our deck. All the other pictures are the view from the deck. |
 |
| These white flowers are fragrant gardenias. They have finished blooming, but the air was filled with sweetness for a few weeks. |
 |
| Colin plans to plant a vegetable garden by the distant trees next year. |
 |
| Colin has big plans for this space. This is directly across from the deck. The hydrangeas were damaged a little by frost, but they have begun to bloom. We get cardinals, woodpeckers, blue birds, yellow finches, mockingbirds, robins, rabbits and squirrels in the yard. We have also had deer wander through a few times. So far I have not seen any snakes...but I know they are out there... |
 |
| This is the play fort. We have started to put the mulch in, but are not finished with that project. The kids like to play out there, especially in the sand. The building behind it is our neighbors garage. We will be planting a privacy tree hedge in the fall. But our neighbor may want to build a fence before then! |
 |
| This is a recent picture of the deck. We have had lots of rain and heat. Look how the pots have grown! |
 |
| After Easter, Finn and Lilly planted a few tomato and cucumber seeds. We didn't expect them to do much, but they are HUGE! They will probably produce while we are in Canada, but it has been fun to watch them grow! |
