The response we got from our visitors was amazing! People were excited and inspired and apparently those who had already visited were telling those who hadn't that they had to make to our place before the time limit was up! It really feels wonderful to know that all that we've done has paid off for us as well as has shown others what can be done with a little vision, determination, time and energy (and not a ton of money).
So, here's the tour in pictures, pretty much as though you were walking through our property from the front yard to the back yard and back out through the front yard again! Enjoy!
With perfect timing, after a very hot and long day and right at the end of the tour, it started to rain. Everyone packed up and made their way home for the day and I made my way inside for some water and a short nap. When I woke up, the storm had blown over a bit (before coming back around to drop a few more drops) so I made my way back outside to take a few more photos and check on the chickens. Apparently the day was long for them as well since I found a few of the pullets taking naps, too ;-)
Though everyone seemed pretty impressed with everything, the clear winner of the day was our echinacea. In it's third year, it is incredibly happy and producing a ton of growth! I will soon be harvesting some flowers to dry to add to the roots I will harvest this fall for some tea...but that's another story!
Hope you all enjoyed a wonderful weekend, too!

Beautiful! Thanks for the tour. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming along ;-)
DeleteThe sky is an amazing color of blue in the first two pictures!
ReplyDeleteCool photo tour of your garden and I really like the outdoor sink setup you have. It's given me ideas for something similar...
Our blue skies are quite intense! I do love them so and worry that I wouldn't be able to survive somewhere else if the skies didn't look the same ;-) The sink in my potting bench is brilliant! I highly recommend adding one into any design you're thinking about!
