At last we have a back fence. Yaaaaaaaaay! We've waited a long time for this one, that's for sure. No more view of the alley way, no more dust kicking up all over my vegies, no more dogs deciding our backyard makes the perfect toilet. And no more people getting bogged in our backyard during the winter because they think it's the perfect spot to turn around in.
The pixies brought us two gates - one for our recently acquired trailer, and one for putting the rubbish out on Sundays... or wandering through if we ever feel the need to walk down the alley. I have a sneaking suspicion there's a raccoon or two using the pedestrian gate as well.
Just to give you an idea of how much the backyard has changed, this is what we used to have. What you can't see are the old star pickets, chicken wire and weeds that made up the rest of the fence to the right of the photo. Not to mention the old concrete pad, car parts, and who knows what else that used to be there.
Now we have this:
It's completely changed the feel of it. We've also been working at leveling it out (there used to be a cubby house to the left of the apricot tree, an old brick barbecue, and enough blackberry brambles to make Brer Rabbit very, very happy).
Daniel did a lot of the levelling (I've done the seeding and maintenance - there's new lawn under the tree now), but he did take a break now and then...
