Just to have a look at how our new section of the Vinyl Picket Fence is looking NOW in the Spring. Remember, on December 17, we did cut that huge 65 Year Old Pine Tree down. Two sections of new Vinyl Picket Fence were added, after husband Pieter did build that Retainer Wall as step 1 of our Water Control Project.
That Retainer Wall underneath the Vinyl Picket Fence DOES keep the rain water from the higher street section away from our home.
Therefore I would love to link up to Theresa's: The Run *A*Round Ranch Report with Good Fences #3 - Just click above hyperlink and visit her incredible blog!
To the left is our Japanese Magnolia unfolding its new leaves. To the right you see the golden new leaves from the tall oak tree.
This is on December 13, only 4 days before that huge Pine Tree to the left got cut down...
The tall oak tree is to the right.
You can tell that the road is quite up high, looking over that picket fence. That's why the water came streaming down the hill towards our home.
Our cat-girl Tiggy-Tiger next to the 65 year old pine tree on December 13, is dreaming about spring I guess...
The magnolia tree was budding out here.
Just cleaned out our Bird Bath as it was filled with catkins and got slimy. Now it can be filled up again for our feathered friends.
Don't you like the new Spring Look in the first and last picture?

ReplyDeleteDearest Mariette;
ReplyDeleteOh, yes awaited spring has come!!! Your Vinyl Picket Fence and yard look SO great☆☆☆ So sorry about the pine tree; we share kind of the same feeling, as we lost 3 pine trees and my husband decided to make our tiny garden tinier one making some space to a parking lot.(^^;)
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Oh, and I forgot to say I LOVE your Bird Bath very much ♡♡♡
DeleteHow pretty, Mariette! A beautiful spring scene. I can see how the water would run down that little hill - what a job that you and Pieter have had putting in your drainage, but the results are beautiful. Your sweet kitty looks very happy surveying her domain and your birdbath is beautiful, too. I hope you have a lovely weekend, my Dear. Hugs to you xo Karen

Hola Maiette. Todo lo que nos enseñas a través de tus fotos es muy bonito. Te deseo un feliz fin de semana y te mando un fuerte abrazo. Besos.
ReplyDeleteIn the sunlight everything look so much better, even a fence.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteach wie herrlich...einen weissen Gratenzaun. Ich stelle mir ein kleines Häuschen vor mit einem wunderschönen Blumengarten und alten Bäumen darin rundherum ein weisser Gartenzaun. Ja es ist ein Traum den den ich schon in ganz jungen Jahren hatte. Natürlich inspiriert von amerikanischen Filmen. :-)
Es gibt bei euch bestimmt auch immer etwas zu tun bei einem solchen grossen Grundstück...doch man kann es sich ja zum Glück selber einteilen.
Wünsche dir mit deinen Lieben ein erholsames Wochenende.
Liebe Grüsse
Julia
