Well, the pool is now folded up and tucked away... 

(it's really still sprawled all over the lawn trying to dry)

The lawn is cut for the last time this season...

(it's really a foot long due to our rain)

And it's time to embrace fall!

(yes please... I'm so tired of taking care of this yard!)



We did lots of work in the yard this year. All new soil came in, beds cut up, the works.

So here's a happy send off to all things summer 2011!


The building of the garden pallet walkway








































The yard is officially documented for another year.

    Everything about your yard is amazing! It is like a fairy-tale place. You must love it so much, and be so proud of creating such an enchanting space!

    Best,

    Your yard as you call it over there is lovely. You have certainly put a lot of work into it.

    Beautiful! do you lift up the pallet boards for the winter so they don't rot? (because they just rest on the ground .... or will you just replace with more pallet boards if that happens?)

    Oh my gosh. Your yard is so beautiful. I love everything- the flowers, the beds, the paths, the shed, the dog, the mountains. Lots of work, but it must be worth it.

    Your yard is gorgeous! Is the bright red bushy plant a coleus? It really pops with color against all of the green. I'm going to have to remember that when I plant next year.

    Such a cute yard and do you even have any bugs or plant disease there? Your plants look so perfect! Mine are usually eaten or dying in a matter of hours (& that's no lie) with some sort of disease or pest. We live in the woods, so many things effect my plants.

    Hey Donna if you find that answer to Revi's question let us all know. Girl you have more energy than anyone I have ever seen. Your yard has the most beautiful view out the back. I love your shed and all of your garden. I have an iron teapot just like that in my garden too.
    Hope you and Cody have a wonderful weekend.
