Circa 1964...
A front and back yard, parents, chickens and rabbits then.
Circa 1998...
A much smaller front garden (and a vegetable garden at the back), all lovingly tended by my late mother...
Now...
A front garden, mostly tended by yours truly...

ReplyDeleteThank you, Jake.
DeleteLovely memories. I haven't had a yard in years and I do miss having one. I don't miss pulling weeds though.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine not having a garden/yard but not a fan of weeding, myself.
DeleteThat's a great first photo. I love black and white photos.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had more photos from those days.
DeleteThis is so very sweet! I love that the garden has been cared for by three generations of women.
ReplyDeleteOnly the second garden has been cared for by two generations of women in my family - my mum and me.
DeleteFond memories for you and I love your dog.
ReplyDeleteYes, fond memories of mom's potted plants on the patio, some jacarandas and poinsettias and a huge purple bouganvillea that shaded the enormous chicken enclosure at the back.
DeleteMy biggest dog looks great in this photo. She was on the lookout for passers-by to scare to death, which is why she cannot be left unsupervised in the front garden!
