I realized this morning that today marks the year anniversary since I moved into my new house, which means that I have been back in town for around a year as well. How time flies, I tell you what. Anyway, I happened to be watering the garden when I came to this realization, so I thought, what better a way to illustrate the changes a year can make than to post some pictures of the garden?

Here’s my front door roughly a year ago, taken with my cellphone.

Well, ok, not a lot of change there, I grant you, although I did get rid of the awful lace curtain.

Here’s the infamous trench.

And here’s the same spot, a year later. The gate moved, did you notice? Also, I am not responsible for the picket fence. Not. Responsible. Got it?

Here’s a view to the north…

And the same view, today. Do you like my hose snake?

Here’s a kinda easterly view from last year.

And a slightly different angle on the same view from today.

I don’t know about you, but I think that things look a heck of a lot better. Not just because they’re taken with a real camera.

I’m glad to be back home again; it’s hard to believe I’ve been back a year already!
