A view of the west side of our yard (facing north).
The hydrangea is just getting ready to bloom, in front of the labyrinth.
South side of the yard from the upper deck. The heather is growing yet has a ways to go before it fills in the area.
Front yard, on the south side of the house.
The sweet peas are taking over my lovely trellis. They are the most fragrant flower ever, and have become one of my favorites.
We have six blueberry bushes, and are starting to harvest the berries. The nieces picked two cups yesterday and I made a delicious cobbler for dessert.
My lavender plants are thriving and I've used the fresh blossoms in several baking recipes this past month.
My six tomato plants are heavy with fruit. We've had several tomatoes so far, and they're sweet and juicy.
I'm going to have LOTS of blue and russet potatoes over the next several months.
Our first blue potatoes! We had them for dinner tonight and they were delicious!
Here's the finished chicken coop and enclosed run. I put up a mirror today and have enjoyed watching the hens look at (and peck at) their images.
I took these photos at 3:30 this afternoon. We love our sundial!
