Corner View- backdoor window view

This a the view from the sliding glass doors at our townhouse where we are now. We have a patio and a large shared green space out back with a playground. I love to sit on the patio and watch the birds come to the feeder. They have become used to my presence and as long as I stay still, they often come pretty close to me! :) The tree on our patio and the ones in the yard are now lush and green, this photo was taken the beginning of Spring when everything was just beginning to emerge.



And this is a photo from the backdoor window of our new home, which we will be moving into in a few weeks. We absolutely cannot wait to have our own private outdoor space! The patio and yard obviously both need some work. It's completely fenced in, and although you can't see in the photo, to the left is a garden and towards the back right are a couple of large pine trees. Along the side of the house are a few remaining rose bushes. I think it's going to be a wonderful place to relax once the owner and I restore it back to it's original "English garden" beauty! :)

    Erin, that will be a wonderful garden!
    We have a communal garden and I just long for my own garden. Just to be able to plant what I want and to have some privacy when I want to sit outside. So I completely understand how happy your are with your new garden.
    Have a great day, Jeannette

    Oh, I love a porch swing... to sit outside and hear nothing but the crickets chirping at night. It will be really fun to make the place your own... yard work doesn't always have to be work. From one bird watcher to the other... Schöne Grüße.
