Summer Views

THIS SUMMER, I went all out and filled all the planters with flowers, and boy was it worth it!

The house looked just as I thought it would: bright and cheerful, adding just the right note of colour to justify its simple white, green and red colour scheme that I had planned the first time I saw it.

The deck with furniture & barbecue.

View of the deck, showing a rain barrel
which captures rain from a small part of the roof on the west side.
The main rainwater harvesting system carries the water
underground to a dry well.
The main entrance.



One of my favourite flower combinations for planters.

The shed holds everything I need to store over winter.
