Gorgeous backyard! Owls help to keep me connected to my late grandfather, and dragonflies help to keep me connected to my late tween daughter. She passed March 2020, ("not of Covid, but of Covid": suicide the 2nd week of lockdowns). We walked away from jobs and the suburbs after realizing we'd be "required" to jab. We now live FT in a camper & homeschool our youngest two children. I look forward to homesteading in the near future and building a garden that'll help me to recharge. Yours is most stunning! Bless you and yours.

Real sorry for your loss. You're an inspiration. Thanks for the comment and for sharing your story. I'm an owl guy and a dragonfly guy.

What an absolutely beautiful backyard, and thanks for sharing a view of it. Everybody looks happy and healthy, unlike the outside world. Goodness prevails.

Brilliant and absolutely beautiful - I want to hang out in your garden with a few crows and a glass of Bucket List Chardonnay! You have definitely created the perfect escape.

This is the best post I’ve read all day. You’re garden puts mine to shame. Did get some nice chards this year though. And 5 pumpkins. Chipmunks are on a tear this year around here. (southeastern Pennsylvania)

Thanks for posting!
