Another collage of the south side that shows another favorite bench. I have planted near that bench this Nov a nice Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Butterfly') and will be adding next to it a group of other dwarf Jmaples this spring. They will form a small new bed around our "rock" which is where some of our dearly departed pets are buried. It will just have the J.Maples and bulbs. Less grass is good. Behind the bench the property had a nice stand of cedars that we saved by not building the house on the highest spot with the best view. I never regret that decision as I love having them. We have cleared the understory of that whole area so we actually have a woods. Patti
