Ocean Memoirs

PEACE, TRANQUILITY AND THE WONDERS OF LIFE......

Ever have those moments where you just think, Life can't get any better than this... Right now I am sitting out on my back verandah, one child asleep, the other playing and just enjoying life... Honestly how can my life be anymore perfect. It's days like these that I find it hard to believe how lucky I've been... It makes our move to the country feel like the best decision we ever made....

I love being able to come out to the backyard, sit on the verandah and enjoy the fresh air.... It's great T sits in his swing and just chills out or sleeps. A plays like crazy, either up the back of the yard on the swingset/trampoline or closer with all sorts of things. Granted there is still a lot of work needed to be done on the back yard, which apparently N has all these ideas for. I keep trying to tell myself we have only been here for a year so we can't expect to have everything done by now, when we bought this place the yard was pretty much just bare and the size of it makes it hard to find simple things to set up as it is so big even the smallest jobs, just aren't that small. We have finally just started to get some grass growing in two different areas, which im hoping will be nice and covered by the time T is crawling. So anyway just because I feel like sharing and I'd really like to include more pics...

Our House when we bought it.

It's been changed a little with the attempt to grow lawn and the addition of outside awnings, we also hope to include a front verandah eventually.

The backyard when we first bought it...

Anything that was green died in the first week after moving in

The Backyard Now..... Note the green looking lawn...Courtesy of my idea to use the soil from the veggie patch up the back to cover up all the prickles during A's 3rd birthday.

And Yes there is a tree missing, that eventuated while I was pregnant and decided to attempt hacking it out with secateurs.
