First day of summer

Posted on June 21, 2016 by Liz Stanley

Summer wrap up

Posted on October 1, 2014 by Liz Stanley

Ok, it’s October 1 and finally time to concede that summer is over. As usual I’ve been slacking in the blog post department, so I have a lot to catch up on here. It’s officially autumn, but it didn’t feel … Continue reading →

Fence is complete, garden is popping with color

Posted on July 26, 2014 by Liz Stanley

Here is the finished privacy fence. It’s board over board for complete privacy, installed by Town & Country Fence. They were great to work with. Very timely, good communication and reasonable price (much more so than another quote we got.) … Continue reading →

Progress in the yard

Posted on July 12, 2014 by Liz Stanley

After living here for 9 years, we have finally decided to put up a fence. It’s an odd shaped yard, narrow at the front but widens out toward the back, and there are 5 edges. Our neighbor to the south … Continue reading →
