Welcome to our new back yard....

Looking straight out the back door


looking slightly to my left (hello lovely Lemon tree!)

Looking slightly to my right (the puppy frolicking is an added bonus to this tour ;-) )

all the way to my right

walking down that path you see - insert spa (in the future).

turning to my left to look out onto the yard

turning left, toward the house

Looking back at the patio and back door (Hi Sedona!)

At the gate to the coup, looking back at the house

turning to my right, note the lovely over grown fruit trees of unknown type next  to the huge Lemon tree.  If anyone cares to help me figure it out, I'd love to know just how to care for these obviously unhappy trees.  

turning all the way to my right, shed in very back corner and these two trees.  This front one is peach (it has a tag) but I have no idea about the one in the back.  The kids LOVE to run figure 8's back here.  I think they might have finally found peace with the neighbor dog whose nose we've seen a lot of through the holes in the cinder block.  :)  

example of above said hole.  In this case, the person who owned this place put some mesh up over some of the blocks...  and in some cases, the neighbor has also blocked their side (everyone has dogs out here).  In others, there is nothing, so we see noses.  It's taking my dogs some time to get used to this.  

At the corner of the coup and the neighboring fence looking back at the 'nook' between the fence and the house.  The wires you see on the right are for the spa.  (yes, seriously). :) 

The big monster Lemon tree.  Oh glorious over grown lemon tree.  I will have many lemons soon...  :) 

and behind the Lemon tree, I have a Pomegranate tree (and an RV gate).  

walking back to the path you see between the Lemon tree and Pomegranate tree - greeted by the Cardi crew :)  
At some point we'll get it all landscaped and looking a little more together.  There's lots of space and lots of potential.  And lots more to clean up! ;-)  I love the patio and the trees (despite not knowing how to care for the poor things).  The dogs aren't as against spending time outside now.  :) I'm not either.  :)
