First, a view from the front yard, where passersby can catch a glimpse of our peaceful retreat. In the background you can see the remainder of the 180 year old hickory tree that had been dying. The horizontal section with the fake raccoon statue is completely hollow. Our house is to the right, and you can see the beginning of our heavily sloped and wooded backyard.
Next, a view of the waterfall feature from the bench. This is the same angle that we can see it from our sunroom window.
It’s chilly outside today. I harvested the rest of the shishitos that I couldn’t bring inside. Maybe got 2 dozen peppers, some very small, but I figure I can chop those up for use in eggs or another dish.
Good news, hubby has agreed that we can start having fires in our WBFP tonight. The season begins! I love having wood fires inside (outside, too, in the firepit).
Really turned our nice. I like the lantern too. I bet some critters already have fun wandering through that log. A creative use for it although I must confess seeing a raccoon my first instinct is to grab the .22. Around here they are real pests.
