Before

July 8th, 2011

I forgot I had taken some pictures of our yard last year when we moved in. It was in a bit of a state. Before I found these pictures I remembered thinking it was pretty and sort of rocking the overgrown English garden thing, but now I am thinking I was a little too sold on the place and overlooking a number of lesser points–as one tends to do when smitten.

Back yard

Of course I never had a yard of my own, either, so I was very excited about growing things and trying to have a green thumb. I adore sitting out here when the days are nice enough. The thing I love most about our back yard is that it is a den of heat. If there is any sun at all, it will be captured, making it so I have been able to put on shorts and a t-shirt out here even when the rest of the city is freezing.

Front yard

I””ve got pics nearly ready to go of the yard in its current state. Coming soon!
