Winter Wonderland

 

This is the other side of my yard. The dogs are certainly enjoying the snow and cold. And this is also NOT in Black and White! I never got around to bringing in these shepherds hooks that I hang plants on....I should be organized in my yard work.

Our back deck

 

This was before the next 6 inches came down! Our poor flag needs to come in but it is frozen where it is. And even though this looks like a black and white it really is in living color!

Flower pot

 

I noticed this hanging pot yesterday while I was out with the dogs....it says a lot about how much snow is really in my yard!

A new season of bocce ball

Here is a different perspective of our backyard....you can see the Japanese Lilac in the corner....but this is our portable Bocce Ball court (made by my husband out of PVC pipes!).It is a great game for all ages...but if you do invest in a set....the heavier more expensive balls are really the only way to play. Target sells a plastic set but not one an adult would like to do and for those of you that asked...yes, it has rained a lot here-hence the lush looking lawn--- and no we don't use fertilizer(other than the dogs!) or weed killer on the acre of land we ourselves mow.....actually, it is nice to get on the tractor and just mow in peace and quiet!

Japanese Lilac Tree

This is a Japanese Lilac tree and it is in our backyard. It doesn't really have a lilac smell like the lilac bushes seem to but it is a lovely tree.
