Backyard Panorama Video

<object type="application/x-mplayer2" width="420" height="600"> <param name="skivideo" value="backyard.wmv" /> <param id="skivideo" /> <param name="autoplay" value="true" /> </object> This video shows the current state of the backyard refurbishment project.

The first terrace wall is complete, the garden, roses, locust tree, brandywine crab apple tree, flagstone perimeter path, the patio, and the Great Stone Retaining Wall are complete.

Future projects include leveling the area below the first retaining wall to provide storage for firewood, and a wood chopping area. Subsequent terraces will provide additional gardening space and room for a greenhouse.

Currently in the works is the eastern patio and fireplace. It is under construction at the end of the Great Stone Retaining Wall. The Aspen grove has been thinned following the passing of the matriarch and we have high hopes that her many, many offspring will flourish throughout the coming years.
