A stop in the garden

The house, surrounded by about 0.38 acres of land, has a sprawling lawn which only ends at the fence to the village cemetery. There are two gardens, in which rhubarb and raspberries grow. I had such a great crop of raspberries last year that I gave away several batches, and froze about six full boxes! There is a patch of spearmint along the driveway, and a fruiting plum tree in the front yard. There are also many flowers: lilac trees, purple irises, black-eyed-susans, and other perennials. The lawn is lush, and comfortable to walk on in bare feet.

The lilac trees in bloom this spring:

The young plum tree just beginning to bloom this spring. It has grown and flourished over the summer, and is bearing fruit already.
