Pergola In The Yard

Betty says,

"We have lived in our house, purchased brand new, for 30 years. Hubby did most of the work in the yard with me as a helper. Most of the yard has been landscaped.

A few years ago, a huge walnut tree just outside our family room died and was cut down; it was an very old tree that existed before our house was built. The spot remained bare.

Recently hubby decided that he would build a pergola structure for climbing plants. When he bought home two small bougainvilleas, things got moving. After working on it for weeks, the pergola was done, he planted the bougainvilleas and lavenders, then he put in the finish touch by adding on a whole pickup full of barks on the ground.

It's now so nice to see such a pretty spot from our family room."
