As promised, here is the first of two photo-driven posts
showing you the lovely views in and around my mom's yard.
This mound is the storm cellar.
The storm cellar is cleverly disguised with iris,....
...peonies, and ground cover.
Here's the broad view of the backyard.
Getting closer to the tree you find an old wash tub brimming with green stuff.
(Guess I should have asked it's name. Some kind of succulent, I think.)
The iron kitty watches over the bluebird house.
One of my favorite spots....
...the swing.
The garden arch supports some pretty clematis.
Oh, look. We have visitors from the neighboring farm.
Hello there, ladies.
A scrap piece of picket fence makes the perfect backdrop for peonies.
This lovely peach iris thrives out back, too.
Mom uses this old treadle sewing machine base as a potting table.
She simply rested the grate on top.
On passed the swing and into the side yard brings us to another flower bed.
Not much was blooming here yet, except these roses.
Another rusty garden surprise rests here.
In front of the house is this long bed with more iris and peony.
One of my favorites!
This entire slope was lifeless until Mom dug out and terraced the space,
moving rocks, and installing boards for a gentle staircase.
Here's the slope from the other side, looking toward the house.
Do you see another rusty treasure? My son, Silas, and his friend, Cameron,
dragged the milk can from the creek near our old house and gave it to her.
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace
because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope
through the power of the Holy Spirit. --Romans 15:13 NLT
Kitty and I will see you again real soon.
Beautiful pics, as usual!
