Taken just after we
moved in, you can
see it was pretty bare.

A little over an acre
of land and what to
do with it all!
That's a pickleball
court with a
basketball hoop.
Wild blackberries
came right up to the
edge of the court.
There was a wood
swing set, shown
between the trees.
In the beginning...
Nine years later
there is a mature
garden around the
house.
Today the basketball
hoop is gone and
there's a gazebo in
place of the swing
set. Shrubs, trees and
perennials fill beds in
the backgardem.
Where wild
blackberries once
grew there is now a
large rock garden
with specimen trees
and shrubs around it.
