Our New House

Here are a few shots of our house, inside and out...


Goldenmound shrub...



Red Flax:


A poppy...


Our huge side-yard... Potential for an addition or a corral...


The front view of the house in summer of 2009 in all the shade from the Elms and Pine trees...


Me and David Barbecuing in the back yard...



Inside view from the front door to the kitchen area...


Hollyhocks at the bathroom window... Perhaps we should have grown something with more aroma... lol


Our resident bunny... He doesn't seem to cause much trouble. He mostly just sits under our trees resting in the shade or sheltering from the rain...


Our new dishwasher from David's mom, Joline... We couldn't install a built-in because our wiring & plumbing is weird. We live on a concrete pad with no basement, so for some reason, our plumbing is on the outside of the wall, but inside our kitchen cupboards.


The livingroom... Yes the furniture was from the Brick. No we didn't get all our furniture at once... We got our loveseat in November 2008 and our couch in March of 2009.


Did I mention we moved into this place in October of 2008? Well it has been mentioned now...

Crab apple tree outside our house between the garage and house...


Lambs Ear!


Snow-on-the-mountain in the summer time!


Pine Tree: home to squirrels...

Some New Photos

Seems like I just saved these photos as draft... Forgot to publish them... Well, as an update... This year (2010) we've had a wetter than water spring... Drenching. So I have blue balm from my dad's garden and these turned out to be a kind of anemone, not snow-on-the-mountain as I was first told by a friend of mine. Anyway, I have transplanted some of these white flowers to the backyard and am planning on planting the bee balm out by our alley. We have nothing by grass and weeds out between the driveway/garage and alley so thought it would be nice to plant some envasive plants like bee balm, snowdrop anemone, rudbeckia (AKA Black-eyed Susans), Lamb's Ear, and chamomile (those little daisies)... Let them all fight for dominance, I say, and perhaps next year I will add something more.
