What a year for my lilacs!!! I think I have 3x what I had last year. I've been waiting 9 years for this... definitely worth the wait. (These are the Charles Joly Lilacs which are an older French Lilac.) They aren't as fragrant as other varieties but they make up for it in their gorgeous deep purple colour.
And here's a little peek at something we had done last week in our backyard. (Big thanks to my brother-in-law who took time off work to come & help us do this!!! What a great job!!!)
We took the old ugly railing off & made a privacy fence using these boards from Home Depot. What a big difference this makes. I'll keep you posted on this... we need to deal with the ugly deck boards now & get them sanded and stained. They look really bad now that the privacy fence is up. And, of course, some new furniture would be nice. Also, I'd love to paint the greying fence around the yard black, but we've had a lot of rain so that may have to wait until the fall.
Funny how one change leads to more and more changes... think I need a Go Fund Me page to get this backyard done!
Been working on another bathroom... pics of that
coming soon!
