The Backyard

My room-mate, Roberta's house is on two acres of land.  Here is a partial view of the the back yard.scanning from left to right, from the patio... 




I've walked off the patio toward the field,

To the far left of the middle left field, 
is, ...Ta Da, the "Hunting Lodge".

In the far back field, is more land...  Here is one of my most favorite sights...

Morning Glories
Isn't the color stunning?

The back yard neighbor's property is vacant.  Their apricot tree hangs over our property.  The fruit should be ripe in a week or two.  I can hardly wait.



Roberta's No Name Goose cannot fly.  It took refuge in the back right field and decided to take up permanent residence.

The No Name Goose
No Name Goose Pond

This is the pond Roberta's ex, Jim, dug for the goose this last spring. Hopefully one day it will be full to the brim.

I've turned around and started back toward the house.  This is the view from the middle field.

The lemon tree should give a good harvest.  Last year I made Lemon Curd.  Sounds awful, tastes wonderful on toast, in baked goods, ...mmmmmm.

The apples are ready for picking.
You can eat them right off the tree.

Here is some backyard beauty.

A tomatoe in the making...

One of the little workers that makes it all possible.

That's all for now folk, xoxoxo.
