 Lovely isn't it?  We love it here.  See the kennel behind the lovely rocker?  We can now leave the dogs outside instead of having to lock them into the garage when we leave for the day.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="12d12ce10.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="225" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> Here's the left front of the house.  You can see my roses are really growing!  Then I have a wooden 2 x 4 walk way that I just tossed the planks into.  There on the left and right of that I have flowers growing.  Jasmine, English lavendar, sunflowers, carnations and other small flowers.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="12d043f20.jpg" border=0 width="323" height="242" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  Here's the mint in the back yard.  This is the one that we pick out for tea.  It's soooooooo wonderfully refreshing.  Just using the leaves... cover them in a pot with good water... boil covered for 20 minutes.  Let set till cool.  Drain and squeeze water from leaves.  This is consentrate, we water it down 50/50 and add stevia and ice.  NUMMY!</div> <div> <IMG SRC="12cf2d910.jpg" border=0 width="301" height="401" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  So here's the peach tree, it's the first season for him.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="12ce0bc80.jpg" border=0 width="267" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  The right of the house is where the birds usually hang out.  We have water and seed for them.  They love it here.  You can see my wine barrel there on the right by the pillar, there's another on the left too.  There are two poplar trees there on the far right of the photo.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="12cd1f7e0.jpg" border=0 width="287" height="382" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> So here's an alley view of the roses.  These are in their second year and were bare root.  They are almost as tall as me and bloom profusely.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="12cc1d7c0.jpg" border=0 width="285" height="380" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="12cb10cc0.jpg" border=0 width="272" height="204" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  I just love sunflowers, these were planted by the birds.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="12ca18750.jpg" border=0 width="280" height="373" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  Here's the wine barrel on the left with the jasmine and a bit of the lavendar.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="12c91f7f0.jpg" border=0 width="287" height="383" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  No, that's not a touched up photo... that really is our sky.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="12c859030.jpg" border=0 width="345" height="259" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  Uncle Barry.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="12c7b5480.jpg" border=0 width="437" height="328" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  My gardens doing really well.  We have melons over by the sunflowers and need to harvest the beans as they are going great.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="12c687250.jpg" border=0 width="391" height="293" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  Here's the sunflowers that the birds planted in the front.  There's the butterfly bush and just behind Barkey you can see the Wintergreen mint.  LOVE IT!  Next year it will be even larger I'm sure as this is the second year for that as well.  It amazes me that everything goes dormant for the winter and there's nothing green at all left for so many months and then spring comes and everything comes back to life.  </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
