Making a garden

The farm buildings we used to keep our calves in has been converted into a lovely house.
I was upstairs this morning & took this photo of the making of a garden.
Busy draining first & then a new lawn & raised up area behind our hen patch. 80 tonnes of soil coming tomorrow.
It will be interesting to watch as it developed.

Some of my long time followers might remember the collapsing roof on this building....just look at it now!

Andrew & his dad were sitting in the sun having their lunch when I took this, you can just see them on the left behind the fence.

Three good things!
1. Magnolia blossom is looking beautiful.
2. Warm sunny day, 22deg C so summer has arrived at last!
3. I have been for my Ultra Sound today, she told me she couldn't see anything abnormal but have to wait two weeks for official result.
WOw, I remember the crumbling roof. It must be great for you to see the changes. Glad your ultrasound was a promising result.

I could willingly sit in your bedroom window and look out at that expand of land all day long , and of course it would fulfil my curiosity as regards your new neighbours So good to see every thing so neat and tidy over the fence . And your lovely white washing in the sun !

Super shot and view with the fields beyond.

That lawn will be tops with all that soil being put in. A properly designed lawn is a thing of beauty!

What a wonderful long view! I can almost smell the sweet scent of fresh sun-dried laundry!

A beautiful day to get the washing dry. The roof looks fabulous now.

So nice to see the house and land being so well cared for. All that topsoil should make for a great garden and lawn.

I bet it makes you happy to have your farm tended with such thoughtfulness

@jgpittenger It does Jane, the last person left a mess so good to see all spring work going well. Over the last couple of days they have been ploughing so might take another shot when it's all done.
