My Yard On Outdoor Wednesday


Joining Susan and her Outdoor Wednesday participates.  They all can be found at http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com


I am taking you on Outdoor tour of my home that I have lived in since 1964. At that time, the house was just being built and been here ever since. You are seeing  the front of the house that faces East.



These two shots are the left side of the house which is South.



The following two are facing West and  my backyard.





The scene below is on the North and looks kinda like an alley.  I only have one neighbor next to me as I have a corner lot.





This takes us back to where we started.  I do not have a mansion on the hill, but live a comfortable life with wonderful neighbors.

A beautiful home and absolutely gorgeous yard and garden. Do you have a riding lawn mower for your large corner property? (As I sit here writing you, my hubby is mowing ours right now :o)

Blessings & Aloha!

Oh, LV, your house is beautiful and your yard looks like a PARK. Just lovely...everything so nice and neat.
I know you do your own yard work...and you do a mighty fine job of it. Just beautiful.

How neat and restful and welcoming, with all the GREEEEEN.

It's just beautiful, and you keep it just perfection, clipped and neat---ours right now is really pretty, and it's all I can do to keep all the pot plants and the beds of hostas watered---the grass is getting crisp and brown, and all the pretty moss under the shade trees is just a shadow on the ground. I can imagine how the Texax heat must keep you hopping to keep it watered and so lush.

Your home and garden are lovely! You do better with flowers in the Texas heat than I do up north, that's for sure!

Thank you for visiting me!
Thank you for the tour of the outside of your house. I once lived in TX (Waxhachie -close to Dallas) when I finished my first BA. The home of whom I called my spiritual mother reminds me so much of yours. Thank you for reminding me of a very special woman in my life.

It all looks lovely.

You home is lovely. I believe that being able to purchase a home that you watched being built and being able to care for it all these years must be a real joy. You never have to worry about what repairs someone else did that might be hidden away to come back to cause you trouble.

You have a pretty manicured lawn Ms. LV!
