In 1993 Chris and I built a rustic curving walk behind the house from old used bricks taken from chimneys from long forgotten houses in the county and taken from the old Maple Hill hospital when part of it was torn down. This is the bigger pond. This is the lotus in the pond. This is a flowering crabapple in our back yard. Our house lot is 4 acres in size.
Part is a terraced vegetable garden including a strawberry patch.
Part is grown up in trees and there is a deep drainage gully through the center grown up in brush, briars, and vines that is a perfect habitat for wildlife. It is surrounded by a wooded fencerow with probably 50 species of trees and shrubs. Eva has a herb garden and flower beds with something blooming most of the time. We have an orchard with a few fruit trees. A rope and board swing hangs from a huge red cedar tree.
