Our Backyard...

...has got to be one of our very favorite things about our house. It is big and, thanks to the previous owners, very well landscaped. Now it's up to us to keep it as beautiful as they left it, and maybe even make it a little more so. So, after a few hours of yard work, I thought I would snap some pictures to post for those who may not be visiting for a long while to see it. But when you do - you can be sure you'll enjoy it!



Front Porch


Mysterious Plant (someone please identify it for us if you know what it is...) - it smells incredible and the blooms fade from purple to white over time

Backyard - see the bball hoop tucked in the right corner?
