Your photos look like what I imagine Heaven to be like! Simply stunning! I hope you are able to come across some more photos to post! I just loved what you did that year and I know you can bring it back to life again this year! You and I are going to do it! Me with my fence line garden bed and you with your backyard! :-)
Do you have any photos of your front yard? You have brugs? I bet they grow better there than here in hot Florida! ;-)
