Pat's Country Home

The small house in the upper right corner is my Mother's.

This view really shows the large, natural pond that is in our back yard.

I love outside flowers from Spring to the frost, which comes early here in Michigan.

Every year I work so hard getting things ready to look nice and then the grass grows and I have a husband that mows them down and says "thought they were weeds." So this year I asked if there was anything I could build to prevent him mowing them down?????

My first project was the mound with the barrel on top and made it into a rock garden and rocks around the bottom. Ha! Ha! you can't get close to that one. All sun. annuals and miniature roses.

Then while at Home Depot one day, I was getting plants and I fell in love with the pond they had set up. So home I come with a pond and that was the second project. Yes, rocks around this one too. Perennials in this one. All sun.

Third one - I got the wood from my son and filled in with black dirt and added a bird bath, perennials and rocks. All sun.

My well has impatients as it's all shade. This was built in 1968.

Now I think I'm safe from the mower man!

A few more pictures of my yard !
