Because it is sort of downhill from the rainspout, we call this raingarden, which we started last year with a riverbirch and fountain grass. This year we planted it with all kinds of stuff including hollyhock, a mini ever-pink hydrangea, blackeyed susans, and some low growing fluffy silver-green thing that feels like feathers when you run your hand over it.
This is the fence and hidden gate next to the dining area and fireplace. Note the forever-awesome leaded glass windows, found at an antique shop downtown 2 years ago.
We thought it would be nice to document the stages of transformation that our house (and we) went through as we took it from its original neglected and trashed state to its pretty restoration in the arts-and-crafts style.
