It has been a over a year since I posted on this blog. I am certainly not much of a blogger! I do however, have a giant folder overflowing with interesting tidbits for you, my few but intrepid readers. I was happy to see that the blog site I use has added a feature where I can upload multiple photos at once. That's really going to help things along!
We recently went on a trip to Boston with Richard's family (will post those photos soon). After
returning, a sudden windstorm blew down
the tree in our backyard and also damaged our roof. I've spent the last
couple of weeks dealing with insurance adjusters and tree trimmers.
Luckily there wasn't a lot of damage to the fence. I can probably fix it myself because I'm handy like that. The beautiful stain job on the fence was my crowning achievement a few summers ago.
This is what the yard looks like without the tree. I'm not quite sure what to do with all of this space. More garden space? You always need more garden space. My plants really need some thinning, so I thought about spreading some of them out.
This is what the yard originally looked like when we bought the house over 8 years ago. The tree was tiny then! As you can see from the first photo, it had gotten quite a bit larger!
