Make yourself comfortable and enjoy a tour of Sherry Hawkin's garden. There is a lot to see.
To the right of our front door. As the family sign shows, we've been married over 40 years, and living on this property over 30 years. We have many roots & memories here.
Trees, flowers and a touch of whimsy

Peter Rabbits house 🐰. The door opens, and Peter Rabbit leaves little bags of treats for the grandkids when they come |
The tour continues tomorrow with veggies, structures and the creek.
tree is a chestnut tree
ReplyDeleteYes - It might be a horse chestnut which is not edible or a sweet chestnut. Gorgeous blossoms and I love those leaves. You can tell the difference from the fruit see:

P.S. I love Peter Rabbit's house and that he leaves treats for the grandkids. So neat.....as is the Sequoia which will hopefully outlive us all!
