Summer backyard updates

It's been a minute since I've posted pics of our backyard. Instagram has been my go to posting site for my plants and backyard decor. Tonight I did a quick clean up with my leaf blower and took a few pics.  There has been quite a lot added since I last updated.  I have added quite a lot of new plants, planters, a veggie bed, lots of new roses and some furniture here and there.  Our fire pit area transforms into a swimming pool during the summer.  The Adirondack chairs finally were discarded after they lasted about seven years.  This fall we'll have to buy or build new ones.  Here's a look as things are now, an ever changing landscape where I am constantly puttering around.   Up next on my list of things to add is a real pond with a spitting fountain that I found at an estate sale.  I can't wait for that. 

I hope you are having a great summer and enjoying the outdoors as much as me.
