 |
| Front porch view |
 |
| Kenny's fruit orchard.. has provided us with lots of fresh fruit. |
 |
| Garden.. my camera didn't pick up, just how big this garden is. Lots of veggies |
 |
| Two fig bushes...loaded with figs Fig preserves are coming!!! |
 |
| Rose of Sharon Bush This on the side of the driveway , leading up to the house. There are 4-5 white and purple ones leading up the driveway. They were small and almost dead when Kenny got this place.. But, he has brought them back .. So pretty, when you drive up. |
 |
| This photo , is really posted for memories for us.. Our grandson would kill me, if he saw it posted.ha [When he was 2 yrs old, we took him and our granddaughter on vacation with us.. Our room was on the 2nd floor. while we were bringing up luggage, Kenny looked over and saw Little Kenny "peein" off the balcony.. He screamed at him, "no Kenny, Don't do that!" we could just imagine the people on the first floor, walking out about that time,and getting "wet", lol We saw this sign, and just had to buy it!!! |
 |
| Back of house-- steps have to be painted.. I ran out of gray paint! New screen has to be installed on the porch. [when finished, won't this be a nice place to sit and eat , in the evening?] Such a pretty view, from here too. |
 |
| One of the many trails found on this property. Kenny has cleared a lot of them.. We love walking them or riding the 4-wheeler. |
 |
| Now.. the grandkids can't be left out.. Here is there favorite, the tire swing! To the left, is a basket ball goal...There's lots for them to do here. |
Looks so comfortable and inviting..a great place to relax!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eva Girl.. We are enjoying it.
DeleteWhat a big difference you have made to that cabin - it's so smart now. Love the little story about your sign - made me have a chuckle. Beautiful grounds - you will have to set up a little sewing corner with a machine so you can enjoy yourself there.
ReplyDeleteThank you SarahLiz, We still have lots of work to do. Slowy but surely ,we will get there.
DeleteYep... the story of our grandson, is still pretty funny to us too..ha
I have already picked me out a sewing corner at the camp house. And I have a small /extra sewing machine, so I will be sewing there too.
What a wonderful retreat!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary.
DeleteI love, love, love the porch. My husband and I have been planning to add a porch to our house as we live in a rural area in So Cal. Yes, there's rural areas in Southern California, hehehe. What a wonderful retreat you have!
ReplyDeleteI love the porch too. so nice and relaxing.. I want one built on my house too.[at home].
Deletethank you.
The DeerCabin looks awesome! That sure is a lot of painting done, and LOVE the red. Yellow metal chairs on front porch are fabulous!!! Flowers and trees look productive; had no idea you could grow figs there...wow! We have limited fruit here. Just apples, pears, plums and berries...oh, rhubarb and an occasional peach squeaks by. But what we have is good. Now we can all see how busy you have been...blessings...D.
ReplyDeletethank you.. I love the red color too.. The yellow iron chairs, we just already had, but I liked them on the porch too.[I had originally thought to paint them white, but ended up ,liking the yellow].
DeleteIt has been busy around here..Not a lot of sewing time.. Hope to sew some later though.
The house is looking fantastic, and what a relaxing place it will be.
ReplyDeleteThank you Stacie.. I will need a week or two to relax, if we EVER get it finished,lol.
DeleteIt looks wonderful.....I can't wait to get my mobile home painted....maybe soon :) Blessings sweet friend

DeleteHope you get yours painted soon.. but first, take care of yourself, and get well.. And let the heat slow down.. hugs.
Love what you are doing with the cabin! Fresh fruit and veggies....now THAT's good livin'!
ReplyDeleteThank you.. It has come a long way.. and still a lot of work ahead.. But the fresh fruit /veggies are well worth it.ha
DeleteThis is so cute!! I love the gardens too. Would love to come over for coffee and I promise I wouldn't pee off the porch.
