These are the views from the living room doorwall.
Last Thursday marked my 44th year in my home. A lot has changed both inside and out in that time. Seems there is always something to do.

A Fall Morning
A summer with little or no rain and a fall with plenty of it. Lots of clean-up still to do, but the mornings with the sun coming up are just lovely - even if it is overcast and a little foggy.
These are the views from the living room doorwall.
The Kousa dogwood in the foreground on the right is just exquisite - if I can just keep the squirrels from ripping off the bark and tearing up the leaves. Plus, it blocks the view of the boy's tree house. BTW, I had to replace all the side-boards this year at a rather hefty cost because the squirrels had chewed all the tops. Arrghhh!
The back corner that was re-landscaped last year.

You said you didn't want work, but in fact you have a full time job with your garden. It is beautiful and the results are well worth your efforts. That second picture in particular looks so delightful.
ReplyDeleteI have been very fortunate in that whatever I have been doing, whether I was paid or not, it has been something I enjoy.
DeleteWow, that is an accomplishment to be 44 years in a house!! Lots of memories there indeed!
ReplyDeletebetty
Yes, many, many memories. It will be hard to leave if the time comes.
DeleteBeautiful areas of your yard!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It is so warm out there, I had to come in and rest. I'll enjoy it while I can.
DeleteWhat a lovely garden! I do love that "re-landscaped" area. It's what I'd like to do with a lot of my garden.
ReplyDeleteThanks. The deck area in the first picture was redone this year. I blogged about it a few months back.
DeleteDenise, it's beautiful. Glad you still enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking! And wow to spending 44 years in the same home. You don't see that as often anymore. I realized when we moved to this house that I was in my last house longer than I'd been anywhere in my life! Just nine years.
ReplyDeleteI love on a rather short street, but four of us are the original owners of our homes.
DeleteYour yard looks fabulous, Denise! Too bad about the squirrels causing all that damage. Not many people stay so long in one home; you must really love it.
ReplyDeleteI should do a post about staying here.
DeleteThose are lovely views. I wish I could look out my windows and see that. :)
ReplyDeleteThose views are part of the reason I have no time to blog.
DeleteYour garden looks very lush and tranquil.
