: Lets go for a walk around the house…We are sitting on the benches by the front door looking East towards the street.

: Looking at the other side of the benches toward the West

: A closer look at this tree / bush. It was about a foot tall when we planted it about 3 months ago

: Standing in the back corner looking North along the hedge and you can see a few fruit trees.

: At the back spiral giving a closer view of the rest of the back yard gardens

: Standing by the Bodega looking to the East again. The raised beds are starting to come alive now.

: This is the soon to be Orchard area. I am standing by the raised beds.
