Clearing the mess!

We have had an excavator here to start the cleanup of the back section of the yard. There is all kinds of junk in there. Old doors, a couple of baths, tables and chairs and heaps of piles of old trees from long ago pruning sessions. We have found some good things in the shed though. A table which is rough looking but will do while ours is in storage and about 50 old Home Beautiful magazines which I have enjoyed reading.

Looking from the rear corner up towards the house after several truckloads of crap have been taken away.

Le Tour part 2

Some pix of the yard. It is fenced into two sections. These first couple are the half that includes the house. IMG_0410
On the far left corner we have a garden shed overgrown with plants.

In the middle we have the good old hills hoist. You can see the gate into the back half/jungle feature.

Looking around the rear right corner of the house. We have some fruit trees - apple, pear and nectarine against the fence.
Beyond the gate into the back half of the yard is a total mess but I have this picture of an aviary which is just through and to the right of the gate.
