Our yard...

Last week we had some friends from the mainland over for dinner. Lisa Marie couldn't get over how beautiful our yard was. Hubby loved this! He loved being able to talk about EVERY plant he's planted, how the only actual plant in the yard when we moved in was the crown flower tree, he told about how he loves to have people from the church come and cut flowers and what he does to keep it looking like this.
I guess because I see it every single day, I take it for granted. So because today was so gorgeous, I decided to take some pictures to share.
Please enjoy our little bit of paradise.

from the side, looking towards the back side. that clay pot is sitting on the cover to our cesspool, in case you were wondering.



towards the back from under the crownflower tree




looking back





along the street, that's the famous Pak Lan tree on the right






from the driveway across the front. he did have some plants next to the house, but they because diseased and he hasn't decided what to put there.



from the back towards the side.back view...this is actually cool all the time because of the 3 Hau trees he's planted along the fence.

Beautiful, Jane. Give Terry my compliments...he's definitely got the best yard on the street. I think it grows so well because of the aloha the comes out of the house (along with all his hard work).

Terry is amazing!
The Aloha spirit is alive and welcoming to all that visit.
Thank you both for a great time and wonderful food and company. Super great to see you.
