My Enchanted Garden
Fully Enclosed!
My house faces north and has a deck on the back. My backyard which faces south is fully enclosed! There is an 8 ft. wooden fence to the east, a 6 1/2 ft. wooden fence to the west, a detached garage to the south, and the deck and house to the north. When I'm in the backyard, no one can see me unless they are in a helicopter! I have a fire pit back there and my mother's wooden swing on a frame.
The deck is covered and there is a covered, brick walkway that leads from the deck to the detached garage. The detached garage was once a double garage with two huge overhead doors, but one side was converted into an apartment before I moved here. My son lives in the apartment. I do not have any trees in my backyard, but pecan trees from the neighbor's yard keeps it pretty shady. I am thinking about adding an ornamental cherry tree...we'll see.
