Now this is NO joke! I have about 16 clocks that have to be changed forward and backward every year. That doesn't count the iPhones, iPads, iWatches, and Apple computers that change automatically.
Today I thought I would share pictures of our yard. As I sit in the computer room, the window to the left of the front door, I keep hearing the squirrels jump on the roof from the tree farther left but not in picture and run across the roof. This picture was taken right after our first 1/2" of rain. We had at least 1-1/2" over 2 days and today there is no water standing in this flower bed.
This picture is facing NNE across our backyard. You can see the patio, table and rocking chairs which is one of my favorite places in the world. In the center of the picture is where the tree fell down that we had to cut up & get rid of earlier this year. On the right is a flower bed we made in the middle of the yard.
In this WNW facing picture, you can see the cement we poured many years ago and the PVC frame with a lattice top to protect plants from burning up in the direct hot sun of Texas summers. Soon we will get out our sheet of plastic that goes behind the plants and covers them all. All the hanging baskets will go under there too. There are flood lights that we turn on in freezing weather to help keep plants warm. Yes, I have a few BIG plants in BIG pots and I had already moved 3 of them under the carport.
In this SW view, you see Hubby's shop (the carport is attached to the front of it, out of view to the right). You also see one flower bed alongside the shop and another flower bed we made in the middle of the yard. Unseen behind the chines to the right is a small flower bed with 4 rose bushes in it. The summer breeze blows the rose scent across the patio.
This angle shows the fence and all the things hanging on it as well as the wind spinners in the middle of the yard flower bed. There is another flower bed on the left that has hostas, ornamental pink grasses, flowers and one large Yellow Rose bush that in summer is FULL of roses.
Of course, I can't leave without the beautiful blooming Angel Trumpet that came from Cricket. I hope you enjoyed your tour and that you know if you are ever in the Dallas area, you are welcome at our home!
