The front yard - In the beginning



These two views provide the essence of the front yard looking from the street and from the front porch. The pile of boulders seen in front of the tree is a score from Craigslist which I will cover shortly. The unshaded part of the yard is nearly dead from the ongoing drought and over-exposure from the sun. (We have just entered "Stage 2" drought restrictions, which severely limits the amount and kind of watering.)

You should also see the fence wavering from the ground shifting. Going between wet and dry seasons causes the land around a house (or even a street) to move about. The door of our fence barely opens and drags the whole way. The wood post it hangs from wavers when opening it, too.

The main tree provides decent shade which would make it ideal for relaxing under on a summer morning or evening.

In case you're wondering, these pictures were "put together" into a panoramic image using Autostitch, a free panoramic software.
