The coffee table isn't totally my taste, but it is suuuuper sturdy, and the more wear it gets on it, I feel the better it looks. It's also the perfect play height for Fox, so he can color or do puzzles or whatever.
The tomato cages that will grow the $64 tomatoes that I really wish would end up costing less (but every year there's something you just HAVE to have to make for better tomatoes...
for Nyah. She wanted to see the garden. I thought this section presentable. This is a side garden approaching the back garden. The fence encloses my H's veggie garden (and some orphan plants of mine)
Conductor Jim rides at attention on the rear as The Winona Patrol (G77) wakes up this west side neighborhood in Winona while traveling through people's sideyards while traveling down to the malt plant to do some switching quick while Amtrak arrives into Winona on time.

This is the small part of the yard, on the opposite side of the house from the meditation deck, the chickens, the veggie garden, the pool, the river and the side porch.
We decided to keep the original cement path, simply adding gravel and plantings for a bit of a courtyard feel. This year is the first time the clematis (which we planted nearly 8 years ago) has looked this lush and full of blooms – and it smells divine in the early evening hours.
At this time last year I couldn't have stood there to get this shot, the area being filled with 12' tall volunteer Privets from the neighbor's hedge.
(NOTE: If you compare the first two pictures in the Garden Renovation album to get your bearings, you can see what I mean. I'm a bit closer to the end of the fence here, but you get the idea)
Privets are still a problem - in fact I have to make yet another pass to clean them out from around the shrubs - but the space is now open and pleasant to walk through.
The gate is new, and a small path leading from the baby patio is on the to-do list.
It's hard to see, being a panorama, but the end of the sideyard is just to the left of the right box, behind the incredibly happy Oakleaf Hydrangea.
Those boxes on either side of the path cover metal brackets the prior owner had installed, for a never-implemented patio cover.
The small black plastic pots behind them do the same thing with a lot less style.

The side thereof, at leas (there are electrical wires about a foot away from the front of it).
The rest of this neighborhood - including the home to which this garage belongs - is really nice, so it's not necessarily blight, just...lack of care. The wooden doors in front are weathered but still seem quite solid (I touched!), although the glass in them is broken in places. The shuttered windows up top make me wonder if this was at one time a carriage house - not entirely unlikely, I suppose.
It's really a neat old building, especially with the simple architectural details. Per usual, it was a rather overcast day. lol I have several other, more interesting shots of the building that I'll make a valiant attempt to remove the electrical detrius from!
