Look at what popped up in the backyard this week. Under some very ugly rocks, and beneath a layer of "weed paper", (don't even get me started on that stuff) a little line of perfectly spaced crocus are making their appearance.
This week we've had two beautiful evenings where the wind wasn't blowing and the temperature was above 50. We found ourselves in the backyard dreaming... Dreaming of the pergola we're going to build, dreaming of the hammock we're going to put in, the trees and flowers to plant and dreaming if all the possibilities awaiting us in our backyard.
You see we are really lying to ourselves when we say we bought the Steel City Tudor for her charming indoor details. We really bought her for her backyard, or at least the vision of what we want for the backyard... This is how the yard looked last May. Long, tree shaded, spotty grass, odd rocks, tree stumps... You can see all the potential, right?? Yeah, I'm having a hard time too..
From this
to maybe this...?
And from this
