This week on Show Us Where You Live Friday is all about yards and garages. Well, I don't have a garage, but I do have a lot of yard- almost an acre and a half- to be exact.
View from the front porch. I took this picture awhile ago, that's why it doesn't really match the rest. My momnesia led me to believe that I had a lot of pictures of the front yard so I didn't need to take any more, but no, this is was the only one that shows more than closeup.
My bicycle planter. You have no idea how long it took me to put this thing together. I blame it on faulty directions, but I might have made some errors myself!
Kappa Kappa Gamma! The colors are wrong, but it's still the fleur-de-lis.
This is Spencer's flower stand. I let her water it, which she just loves, and then she tried to pluck them!
Crepe Myrtle in the front yard. I can't wait for it to bloom- early fall.
My July 4th Spirit, haha! And that's Spencer, coming to show me the flower she just picked. I have the hardest time keeping her from doing that, but my hurt just melts when she says "Flowee, prit-ee!" And then she pats her head, because she wants me to put one in her hair. She has a headband that has a flower on it, and to make her want to wear it, I showed her how pretty it was and how pretty it looked on her. Ever since then, when she sees a flowee, she wants to put it in her hair!
The backyard. You probably can't tell from this picture, but it's almost an entire acre.
That's a dogwood behind the slide, which is Virgina's State Flower, even though it's a tree!
On the screened in porch. Oh, how I love my screened in porch! It's probably my favorite thing about our house.
View of the backyard from the porch. That's a shed you see to your left, which is the home to many a creature. I don't want to destroy their thriving ecosystem, so I leave it alone, and they leave us alone.
