My husband just got our yard ready for winter so he had to dead head and trim back all of our shrubs and flowers. In the spring and summer we have beautiful tulips, lilies, lupins, hibiscus, and other flowers that will grow every year.

This is the coolest feature about our deck. This can either be a picnic table or convert to a bench for more seating. We have sat 8 kids before or six adults.

Just one street over from us is this perfect little bridge where the ducks gather from spring until fall. It's the perfect distance to go for a walk to feed the ducks or have a picnic.

This little green way is so fun to bring a picnic or come enjoy sitting on the swing. It's dog friendly, kid friendly, and has beautiful mountain views. Our neighborhood has great walking and running routes and I have always felt very safe going alone at night.
