what a difference a year makes

time for some before and after's! it's been over a year since we moved in!

BACK YARD:
BEFORE...this was last fall

and AFTER...no more swingset, garden thriving
firepit and baby trees in the background



the deck now

oasis




FRONT YARD:
BEFORE...look how tiny everything was in spring, and no lacebark elm yet

AFTER...i love how lush and colorful this garden is even at the end of october. 
planting all year long has helped me achieve 4-season interest


loving that grass on far left
view from the side door

orange flame mahonia and baby lenten roses and bigroot geraniums

more view from mudroom - foliage just starting to turn colors

the driveway and screen porch that weren't even here last fall!

screen porch garden filling in nicely

fall is here!

AND THIS SPRING...

next project:  make a path through muddy side yard, take out vinca or at least contain it on hillside

with this ancient dogwood in the side yard, the site has sooo much potential!
