{Our Wood Trail in 1994}

• While scanning old slides I came across this one from 1994, showing you Our Wood Trail. 
• Husband Pieter had dug the ditches and build this wooden walk way, all the way from the gazebo to the greenhouse. That was our first water control project to rid the property of some wet spots.

• From here you are looking at the gazebo and the back of the house, towards the road.
• We only could start with our gardening after we came home from our 3 years of working and living in Indonesia. 
• This was the beginning of our lush garden with cute wrens bird house on the tree.

Azalea Helen Curtis is blooming here

• Same Wood Trail, 17 years later... The wrens bird house still on the tree.
• This photo is taken in the opposite direction.
• The ditches have been filled up with the dirt that came out of the basement when Pieter dug it out for building the Rose Suite. 
• That were 60 tons of dirt and it ended up on the side and in the ditches and on the back of our property near the creek. You can't even tell it was that much.

Do any of you have a walk way into the garden?
