simple backyard living.  its what our backyard is really all about.  gathering with your neighbors.  Enjoying good company and good food/wine in a relaxing  comfortable environment. a place we can find respite from our busy lives and decompress, a place where we  re energize.  
but how do we get our private oasis to match our inner spirit?
for me it will be a labor of love..emphasis on labor.

i will chronicle our yard from start to finish with pictures, design, and how we did what we did and where we got materials.
