What I’ve Been Doing Since . . .

Flowers in Gabriel's Garden

Purple was my son's favorite color.

Star-of-Bethlehem

This grows wild near the side of our house. The petals close up at night.

Honeysuckle tree

Beginning blooms

Purple violets

These purple violets, along with white violets, blanket our yard in early spring.

Camping in the backyard!

My husband and son built the fire pit.

The Jungle - A Work in Progress

Two trees - a maple and another taller tree (we no longer remember) once stood here until our electric company came and told us the trees had to be cut down since they stood directly underneath the electric line. A pet cemetery sits to the left and we're working on making this a prettier area.

Birdhouse

Our neighbor gifted this cute birdhouse. It was pretty heavy so we mounted it atop an old clothesline pole. In the background, you can see a portion of the wind-chime my dad up-cycled from an old, small organ he salvaged. When the wind blows through, the chimes sound like church bells.
