From July 2010 - Joe and the kids came to check out the possibilities. The grandkids look so small! Alice is experiencing the mosquitoes...which was the determining factor for having a screened back porch.
We planted some heritage daylillys and some spider lillies (naked ladies) on the south side of the horizontal oak. They've survived to date.

After only a year, the place was cleaned up pretty nicely, thanks to Brian the Destroyer. We already had a good stack of firewood, and most of the shred had been raked and burned. The next round will take us to June of 2011, when we started getting some building activity next door and across the street.
