The view from the back of the yard

The best place to see the the full width of the back yard is from seats we put along the back path. It is always shady and peaceful, unless of course, the boys get needy. Then it's only shady, and not so peaceful. Pat did a wonderful job of softening up the vertical surfaces of the deck with all the flowers and stuff. We're using maple sap buckets hanging on the wall as flower pots.
