I'm really enjoying my property and being a homeowner. The people who lived here previously really liked their yard, and put effort into the landscaping. It's so nice to step out and sit on my deck overlooking the yard anytime I like. I took my pruners and cut the shit out of that tree overhanging my stone bench, and a couple of bushes in back of it that were making the bench, and that little area near the well, unusable. The branches were so long that they were actually hanging down onto the bench, covering it. The tree looks kinda dead, but it is just a late bloomer.
Some pics from the deck -

This is the middle section of the yard. I plan to convert that above ground planter into a tomato/veggie patch. It gets over 6 hours of direct sunlight, so it should work well -

Here's the rear section of the yard. I dig my large barn-like shed. I wrote into the contract that they leave all the yard equipment, so I have all manner of manual, gas, and electric powered tools in there with which to maintain the landscaping -

Pics from ground level. I really dig this little nook, it's like something out of a fairy tale -

Mowed the lawn a couple days ago. I have two glider benches on the deck, love rocking in those -

This type of side yard is rare in this area, it is the main reason I bought this house for cash. I had my offer in hours after it hit the market. It is really secluded back here next to the garage, I dig that. I come out some evenings, light a little fire in my Solo Stove back here, cook a few things and just hang out...
