Gettting Moved into Place

This is one side of the house.  I was thrilled to see that we have some bluebonnets.  This is last spring, and I haven't seen any come up this year.  I hope that the mowers didn't cut them too soon last year.  And I'm hoping that they will come back.
This is the back porch and the fence closest to the side road.  I had to hire someone to take down a portion of the fence so that the storage building company could move the building into the back yard.  And then of course, have the fence placed back up after the moving was done.  So there was a lot of coordination involved and I was lucky to have a friend's husband that was willing to help with the fence part of the job.

The day that the storage building was moved on to the property was very exciting for me!  I was so glad that everything went smoothly.  This photo shows the back of my house, and how the yard slopes down towards the studio.

Williamsburg Bird Bottle and Texas Mosquitos

Image
I have had this bird bottle for many years now, and in all of the moves and places we have lived - never once hung it up.  I lived in Williamsburg, Virginia for one year when I was 20, and I loved the Colonial area, and walking through the Governor's Palace Gardens. I bought the bottle on a return trip when as a family we traveled there to show our girls where we had once lived.  And for them to experience Jamestown, and Colonial Williamsburg. I do not know why I have moved it to so many places and never hung it in a garden.  Or under the eaves of the house. Maybe this says something about me not ever really feeling at home at the other addresses.  I do feel more at home here, and perhaps it is because I have had much to do with the choosing of the main properties and decor of the house.  It has also been a stable and calm period of life, and my children and I do feel comfortable and peaceful and at home here.   The bird bottle is supposed to attract...

Relaxing: Porch Rocking Chairs, Hard Apple Cider and Fire Pit Flames on a Crisp Spring Evening

Image
 I found these two rocking chairs while shopping at Aldi's.  Only $25 each.  After looking around and online - I thought this was a great price for porch rocking and relaxing.    I also found a terrific deal on Amazon for a $65 Fire pit.  Assembly was required - but it wasn't too bad, and thankfully everything was included that was needed for the assembly.  This fire pit came with some great accessories - even a plastic cover for bad weather.   A fire on a crisp Spring night with a crisp apple cider in hand.  Enjoying this from my new rocking chair.  I did realize though that, I will have to put down some kind of stone circle of pavers or a gravel pit somewhere for the fire pit, for safety concerns.  That still needs to be done.   We are going to have a lot of fun with this - roasted marshmallows, smores. and hot dogs coming up!

Backyard Beginnings

Image
Places to sit and reflect I'm so proud that this she shed has found a home and will become a space for me to create! Picnic area.  We love picnics in our family.   The Mission Fig tree transplant.  I am hoping that it lives! I would love to have an area like this to the left of the studio.  This would be into the future  But I really like Adirondack chairs and fire pits.  A place to chill and relax with friends would be really nice.
