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.

Interloper kitty! Taken from our upstairs TV room window.
He hangs around in our yard, and sometimes our cats start pawing / banging at the window. He came and visited once when we had the cats out. He left when Oranjello tried to come up and see him.

The sideyard at the Army Museum in Hanoi, with an eerie display of detritus from both the French and American Wars. The UH-1 helicopter at right, and A-6 ground attack fighter, in the foreground. An M113 personnel carrier in the middle, and the odd tower of what's left of a French B-24 bomber, A-6s (...not John McCain's...), F-105s, and engines from an F-111.
