Ed's Backyard This Sunday


With the weather finally getting nice on the weekends, I've been out in the yard weeding and pruning and power washing and enjoying the view of the garden. Here are a few pictures I snapped today... you can click on any picture to make it full size and see more of the details.
The burble from the rock waterfall is soft and soothing coming through the bed room window at night

The bushes have really grown in over the past few years



A view down the path to the end of the yard


When night comes, the show doesn't stop...multi coloured solar lights through out the yard, augmented with white mini-lights on the clematis covered arbour, light up the centre of the yard, while two flood lights under the trees in each back corner of the yard provide a night time view of this oasis. 
Whether sitting reading a book during the day, or sipping a glass of wine at night, this is the best place to view the garden show.
