Our Garden


Our garden is very unique. The man who owned this place before us loved concrete and made a concrete garden. We like that we can always walk through the garden or work in it even after a rain but I personally think that it's way more work in some ways. There are some areas that don't work for planting vegetables in so we plant flowers in them. We also have a few trees, strawberries, raspberries, asparagus, and rhubarb. I love having flowers blooming pretty much all the time from April to November!

An early Snow (not taken this year :))

We have about 17 rose bushes!

One of my favorite spots in the garden. Underneath the birch tree.

Stop by and see it for yourself sometime!

An evening in Eby's woods

Our parents and the Eby parents were both gone Saturday evening so Lynette invited us all over there. She had a delicious meal and we had a great time back in their woods! We girls spent the night then and were going to sleep in the cabin that Shelton made, but at 1:00 we decided to finish the night in the house after listening to the mosquitoes whining in our ears for an hour or so. The beds felt quite nice after trying to get comfortable on a hard floor. :)

Lyn made a fabulous meal!

A walk in the moonlight! (and other happenings of the day)

The moon was beautiful tonight so Michael, Merry, Harmony and I
took a little walk so we could see it better then we can at our house.









This is my handsome medic brother that couldn't be with us because he is working a shift all night.


Happy Birthday to Peter!! I'm pretty sure that he's having the best birthday of his life! :)
