The Garden and Pool- Finale of House Visit

You've seen inside Chet and Telaryn's home
 in my last 3 posts. Now it's finally time to go
 outside and show you their fabulous pool.

The terraced waterfall starts up the slope

of their backyard. They knew just what 

they wanted and how they wanted it to look; 

natural with lots of rock. You can see

this dramatic pool from almost every window 

in the house. It's truly the focal point!

Each season has it's special beauty.

There are terraced gardens sloping up
 behind the pool. Telaryn enjoys gardening
 and landscape planning.

The family dog Bear leading me up the stairs.

 Bear is an Entlebucher Swiss mountain dog, 

the smaller cousin of the better known Bernese.

The decorative gate at the top of the 

stairs looking down.

My Lucy enjoyed running in the big yard
with big Bear. A new experience for her.

She was also my leaf raking assistant.

Lucy found the perfect-sized bench 

for a much needed break.

The top of the backyard.

The view to the neighbors next door.

A nice view of hills in the distance.

The view from the backyard to the house.

 Walking back down the stone steps  we pass

 still-blooming azaleas.

A cluster of Adirondack chars on the upper

sitting area.

A fire pit is there and at night we snuggled in 

 warm throws and enjoyed a fire and s'mores.

Flowers line the paths.

The last of the summer flowers next to the pool.

 Flowering camelia bushes along the side of the house.

This side area leads thru another

 ornamental gate into 

the pool and patio area.

Dining area

They built a pavilion for a shaded sitting area.

My granddaughter Taelyn enjoyed playing
my assistant and 'tweaking' the area.
We gathered the pots and twigs.

Telaryn and Chet made this bubbler. 

I want to try this for our yard.

She found the instructions  at

the Home Depot website.

In the garden we have our last fairy.

If you've missed the inside, you can see it

Thanks you for visiting!

Cheers!
