Pictures of our Backyard

Finally, pictures of our new and improved backyard. We had the fence installed in March and are loving the freedom it gives us with the dogs. The backyard also feels larger to us now because we can clearly see exactly where our boundaries are. Since this picture was taken the flowers against the house have spread considerably. They are now twice as deep and wide. The flowers that are in the pots (sitting on the brick) are now planted in the front row.

My husband has been diligently working on our front and back yards and flower beds and has done wonders with what we had originally. The original owners did not live here for very long and the yard was pretty bare. We have since purchased a dark wicker loveseat which sits inside the screened patio against the left side with small matching end tables on either side. Dh rigged up a small set of speakers and we have two fans that sit against the right-hand section. We can now enjoy sitting in our backyard, which is where you will find us most evenings. Every evening we enjoy sitting outside and listening to the orchestra of frogs, crickets and cicadas.

When winter comes we will bring the table and chairs inside the patio and move the loveseat out so we can sit in front of our (not yet bought) firepit. We also hope to purchase a hammock to place near the back fence as that spot gets afternoon shade.
