A Look At How Our New Home's Yard Has Progressed Since Last Year.
This time of year everything is blooming again and it all started this last week. We have been amazed at the changes in our yard since last year. I thought it might be fun to see the changes with a new update...
We started with this in April of last year .....
Then.......
then more plants....
Brand new plants, no grass yet ,or trellises for the vines, but making good progress
Ahhhh Yes, we have grass........
( June 2016)
We added our own touches with glass table painted black and cobalt cushions, this table was purchased 47 years ago. Notice I had to add a little blue and white with the urns. The roses have grown and so have the vines on the trellises.
This is at the beginning of Spring this year.....
This year before the roses bloomed. You will notice no cushions, Yes we still have rain here in sunny California. Everything is flourishing and you can tell by the size of the plants they all seem happy here. Everything has grown so much that this week we have to do trimming of the boxwood to keep it neat and compact. It has almost closed up the spaces between each plant.
This was taken just a few days after the previous photo, the roses have started blooming ....
When I look out back I still can hardly believe this is our yard in our new home. It looks like it has always been here and we are it's new owners. Always grateful and so happy that we get to live here.
We just planted the impatiens so they will fill in nicely within the next couple of weeks. I love it when they spill over the brick.
This is looking towards the gate where you would enter into the backyard from the driveway. You can see it is dusk and the lights just came on, this is one of my favorite times of day in our yard.
This is the side patio that we can see from the great room when the windows are open we can hear our happy little fountain bubbling away. I have to have the sound of water.
After....
