Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
It doesn't happen over night
if truth were to be told.
Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
you must believe!

HAHA, you had to be different there, we feel rich now
It's a quiet past couple of days but I am sure some of the older members will say hi too

Glad to see you posting again, baja.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?

I can't Welcome you back with knowledge previous acquaintance, But the " Tribe/ Group " here are excited.
So Nice to meet you Baja.
Thank you all again! I was on the site early this year but then became all-consumed with a sweet vacation to Rome, Italy, and several very large projects at work as well as a complete backyard upgrade (4 months work) that my landscaper recently completed (yes, he was beyond slow). With any luck I should cruise into the Christmas holiday with everything completely finished... well... one can always hope!
Ooohh, what's the backyard project? I love new landscaping ideas. And since I don't have a backyard anymore, I have to admire someone else's.
I've been in my house for years and the whole time I have ignored, then cleaned up, then ignored my backyard. My house sits on the side of a hill and almost feels like a tree-house when looking out the backside window. The backyard itself consists of a number of natural terraces until it reaches a rather large creek surrounded by protected wetlands. I've never really used the backyard since the rear of the house had perhaps a thin 10 foot wide strip of land with dense trees after that. Some of the trees -- tulip poplars -- grow like weeds. So last year I had enough when one of them was about to grow into my kitchen. I hired a landscape architect early this year and then found a pretty economical landscaper to make the immediate backyard usable. Now it has two flagstone patios, a fire pit that i can't wait to use when it gets colder, a retaining wall spanning the backyard (with natural stone), a fence around the perimeter of my backyard to keep the deer out, a few gates, new deckwork and new plantings all over the place. The work includes magnolias, to japanese maples, to gardenias, hostas, hydrangeas, multi colored azaleas, cone flowers, to plants I've never even seen before. As much as I enjoy it, I think the bees, butterflies, humming birds and other birds enjoy it even more. I'll have them come out again next spring to finish the exterior enhancements. I still have some higher-level terracing to re-stone, replace a sidewalk with flagstone, put a flagstone walkway in to encircle the house and replace some shoddy wood exterior decoration with matching stonework. Seems like home improvements never end, but this one has been years in the making and it is nice to see it almost complete. Whew!
It sounds amazing. Yeah, I gotta get a yard to work on. Lol. With a natural slope like that, I'd go with a little stream too.
