Yard Holocaust at the Log Cabin

This week our lot was back filled and graded. The trees and other greenery were not affected on the lakeside - but the backyard (the side that faces the road) is what I now call a yard holocaust! Can you see how it highlights the propane tank nicely? Our neighbors (well they are a couple lots away) must despise us. Greg purchased some tree seedlings and bushes but you can tell from the picture that it will be quite a while before they reach a decent size. I'm going to head to the nursery and find some larger trees. I really love pine trees and blue spruces. Also toying with the idea of growing some blackberry bushes.

Tree Seedlings

For some reason today, I cannot upload pictures into my blog posting. Right now I'm sitting in the parking lot of a Bigby's coffee - up north - 30 degree weather - very windy. But being the blog junkie that I am, I had to do at least 1 posting today! Greg bought over 100 tree seedlings (some of these he is planting at his parents place to sell in the future) from the Otsego Conservation district. At our log cabin, we are going to plant some red pine, norway spruce, cedar and various flowering bushes that will encourage a wildlife habitat. Tomorrow I will post pictures. Right now the back of our lot looks like a nuclear holocaust as they finished the septic drain field and back filled the lot. Looking forward to some greenery!
