From dreams to rainbows

It's been a cool, windy, rainy weekend and this morning at 6am when Bill opened the blinds to the sliders in our bedroom, this is what we were greeted with. Looks like two houses on Chestnut Street were hit with a pot of gold this morning. Scenes like this are why I feel like I'm on vacation everyday rather than living in a new home.

Arbor Renovation

After cleaning up the garden and tearing down the disgusting plastic that was attached to the arbor, we bought some heavy vinyl and cut it to size and attached it to the sides. I can't wait for the vines to start climbing.

Springtime cleanup

This was Easter weekend (April 4th). Nothing was done in the backyard last fall with moving and all, so there was plenty waiting for me this spring.










Saturday April 10th was a rather windy day, but it was warm and sunny and so the attack began.









This is post cleanup with the trees and flowers blooming.
The fence row looks much better and the trellis will get a new insert for the climbing vines.
