Having my parents come this weekend and see the house and yard for the first time in the summer (and James’ parents last weekend), made me realize that I hadn’t really posted a lot of pictures of the pool or yard this summer. Thus after the storm went through and the sun peaked out this afternoon, I headed out to get pictures all around the yard and even a few in the living room.
The first stop on our tour will be the pool. The pool has been holding pretty steady at @ 85 degrees and has been amazing to come home to! The landscaping around the pool is really pretty and includes a ton of tiger lilies and fifteen rose bushes!
I love nothing better after work than to cool off and do laps in the pool. James has also been enjoying the pool, but spends a lot of his time reading and snoozing on his hammock!
From the pool, it’s a quick walk over to the garden. I’ve posted a number of garden pictures before, but I just wanted to show how big everything continues to get and how much the pumpkins are growing!! I can’t imagine how big they’ll be by fall!
The yard and creek is next on our tour. Notice how high and murky the water is from all the rain we’ve gotten lately!
Yet, all the rain has helped the flowers around the yard! I know I’ve taken a number of flower pictures, but I’m I love the colors and different types of flowers around the yard, some wild and some freshly planted this year!
The rain has also helped keep everything else green around the yard and really makes the house look pretty! It’s also a big difference compared to last winter!
Last on our tour (and having nothing to do with outside) are some shots of our living room. I haven’t taken any since we got the couch and while we’ve still got a few more pieces to buy for the couch area, I’m happy to say the living room finally looks like a lived in room!
Well that’s it for the tour of the yard and a little bit of the inside of our house! Everything is a work in progress, but we love it and are looking forward to adding things here and there this summer and in the summers to come!
