Changes In Our Backyard
This summer, Andrew did quite a bit of work on our backyard, and, for the most part, things have been really growing nicely. One of the big jobs we did this summer was to take out two large raised garden beds from the side yard and replace the whole area with grass.
This is what the side yard looked like when we bought the house
The side yard with new grass. In the spring we’ll be adding mulch to the areas with no grass, and put in some plants. Andrew said we could put in some more rose bushes!!!
Beautiful fall colors on one of our trees. When most of your trees are evergreens, it’s nice to have a few that actually change colors…. until they lose their leaves and look dead all winter, that is!
Both of the hydrangeas that we purchased late this summer have bloomed. Have I ever mentioned how much I love hydrangeas??? I love going to Pt. Defiance Park and seeing all the hydrangea plants, located near the rose garden. They’re so beautiful and come in so many different shapes and colors.
Your yard is so beautiful! What a lot of work, but how enjoyable once it is bursting in color!
