We bought our house a year ago, and everyday ...everyday I
have missed our yard that we had in Summerland. It was lush
and private..so private I could sit in my pjs blog surfing all day and no one
would ever be the wiser....maybe a little lazy but really inspirational I loved those
days. There were large mature trees, fruit trees and a huge
hedge that went all across the back. Well, our home here is a new
build so there was no garden, no grass ,trees or anything...on the up
side we got to do whatever we wanted (with in a budget) and make it ours.
This summer my husband and I, our daughters, friends and willing victims
got busy with us...thank-you sooo much ...we couldn't have done
it with out everyones help.
We knew that we had to plant a large tree in front
of the deck off the back of the house. Hopefully in a few years
it will give us shade and privacy.
We actually had to build a gabien wall along that far fence you
see in this picture and raise the level of soil up about
3 feet. These fence panels were from Rona on sale and
my daughter and I stained them tudor. Then we rolled
out a ton of sod and a few plants were planted.
Here are a few fall pictures..
Have a super day
