High summer has arrived with lots of alternating rain and sun. This combination has allowed the backyard to flourish. Here the upper right corner fills with Charlie’s blueberry farm. The grape arbor peeks out of the top left corner. The raspberries emerge on the middle left. Perennials abound all around the yard. Charlie salvaged the bricks forming the walkways from various derelict factory buildings. The hand made picket fence separates the dog back yard from the people back yard. Needless to say, the dog back yard doesn’t merit a photo.
The window on the south side of our upstairs hallway, complete with a cushioned window seat, provides this view every day. A real balm for my spirits each morning.

Good to sit and admire your garden, Elizabeth. It looks very nice, and has rewarded the work put in.
Best wishes, Pete.
