Baby got Backyard

Good news! It looks like closing is set for July 7th! We may get this house yet! (Maybe... assuming that all goes well with the final inspection, but let's be honest the odds of that are pretty small considering our luck so far.)

Thought that I would pacify the masses with a pleasant backyard posting. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of great pictures about what's going on back there, but rest assured it's a jungle. The lot itself is 1.2 acres and is backed by a very slow running stream. There's lots of fun skunk cabbage and swamp too. It's Delaware, what can you do?

Here's the highlights of the backyard....

These were taken March, mind you, so it's a little bare...


Now, the crowning glory of the backyard. Yes, that's a gazebo.



This next one is of the brick patio. We think it used to be used for an enclosed sun room. We I am thinking hot tub. That'll come after we replace the decking on the upper deck... and buy a grill... and get new railing all around the deck... and repair the, urm, gap? in the gazebo roof... and clear out the enormous lumber pile in the backyard... and destroy what might be the root of all poison ivy on the Eastern Shore... and... well, you get the picture.
