We moved three and 1/2 years ago
and I have been busy creating my own yard.
Some call it nesting, the changing
of the environment around you to fit you!
The enclosed patio with the arbor
over the gate was there, as was the deck.
We added the gate and the chain
link fence two years ago.
We planted the honeysuckle that
goes over the gate arbor, soon after we purchased the
house.
They had clematis over the gate
arbor.
The pergola we built in the fall of
2003 and I planted my American Wisteria (Wisteria frutescens) that
fall
and the William Baffin Climbing
Rose the next spring.
(I jokingly say when trying to keep
the wisteria and the rose from intertwining, that I am stopping
William Baffin and Wisteria from marrying.)
The fish pond was built in 2004 and
is above ground so I can maintain it easier.
Late May 2006 The inside of the
patio is full of flowers too
