It isn't much, but it has some great views.
We had plans for this house, nothing huge - take down some walls, new floors, paint, fixtures etc. We had the plans, but not the time, the know-how, nor the means. So instead, I focused on the yard.
The yard was a postage stamp. There was a rose bush in the front, a holly tree in the back, and a rectangle of waist-high weeds that, at one time, had been a veggie garden.
Some mini projects over the last two seasons have led to something a little better.
The first season we acquired a green house from our awesome neighbour, I built a rock garden under the holly tree and Paul butchered the weeds that were once a veggie patch.
We moved in in July, but managed to put in a late garden.
This spring, we added a sand box, started seeds early in the greenhouse and had the time to properly prepare the soil for growing vegetables.
We also added a strawberry patch and enclosed the garden to keep out some of the ravenous weeds.
The garden has gone-off this year and we have had some huge harvests.
I'm still working on this path.
We've done a few things inside, but nothing too exciting.
Now, more than a year later those small ideas for the house have grown and these inflated ideas have been put on paper, made concrete. Now we are waiting....
