24th week of pictures - Backyard

This week's theme is backyard.  I LOVE MY BACKYARD! And it is just going to get better with each year we live here.  The backyard at this house is one of the reasons we bought this house.  It is big, spacious, and many things to be done to.
 
This is from our grove of trees.  This backyard had a grove of plum and maple trees that haven't been touched in years.  Some of the trees were diseased and some just didn't have any room to grow.  That was Brian's first project.. thin out the grove.  His second project was to put in a fire pit.  This is the view from that fire pit.  When in the grove, you feel like you are up in the mountains at a campfire.  Then you look out and see that you are in your home.  Lovely thought.

This is our garden.  We tried gardening at our old house but we could only have a tiny garden.  So we were so happy to have a lot of room to build our garden.

This is the view from our south corner of our backyard.  See how big.

This is our deck.  As you can see, it is on the right side of house in the afternoon, all shady.

This is the view from our deck.

And of course my children love this backyard.
So happy about my backyard and still so many more improvements to come.  Happy Happy Happy.
