Dream Backyard

As we approached the white stone home we were impressed by its lush green grass, the tall trees that lined the property. Walking up the stone path to the front porch we were sided by beautiful flowering plants. The covered front porch, had two rocking chairs and several plants. We opened the red front door, to see directly to the glistening blue in the backyard. The house was wonderful, everything we dreamed of, hardwood floors, rounded corners, granite counters, stainless steel appliances. But it was outside that caught our eyes.

We opened the double french doors leading to the massive stained concrete covered patio. There were two gorgeous bamboo sealing fans and benches surrounding the patio. Off to the right was an outdoor kitchen of sorts, with a huge grill and bbq, with a sink and a small drink fridge. The stainless steel counter rested upon the most gorgeous cherry stained cabinets. When we looked out over the BBQ we saw the beautiful lush lawn, surrounded by every possible fruit tree, bearing fruits like treats on Halloween.

Off to the left of the patio was an outdoor fire place, the chimney lined with river rock.Just past that was a pristine U shaped pool, an area to do laps, to dive and to stand and play in. I just can't wait to take my first dive into the cool refreshing water. Straight off the porch, past the lawn was a small Koi pond with a little bridge going to a smaller patio made of large flag stones, filled in between with moss. Covering the area was a huge Oak tree, providing shade for the two chase chairs, beckoning me to come and sit and read for hours as I sip lemonade.

The best thing of all was the out door track that went from one end of the fence to the other, weaving through the trees and such. I can't wait to get the kids out there riding their bikes, and me waking up to do my morning runs.
