The Yard

This is our garden. It used to be all honeysuckle and weeds. Slowly Rebecca and I have transformed the area into our garden. We love to spend time planting and growing flowers and plants.

We started the garden by clearing out wild honeysuckles in the front so we could put out the bird feeders. In the winter there are all kinds of birds that come and eat the bird food. I have two favorites: the Cardinals  because of how many there are (like 20 at once), and the Wood Peckers because they are so big and full of color.

After the bird feeders there was a trail. So we cleared the trail a few times and the garden was created. We mostly installed perennials for the obvious reason that they come back each year. But we do put in some annuals each year to bring in color in the middle of summer.

I created some panoramic pictures, at the bottom, of the whole garden as we build it and as it has bloomed.
