In May 2013, about nine years ago, we were house hunting, and fell in love with what was to become our Yellow Cottage Homestead. #ThrowbackThursday

For week/year 35 of my 52 years celebration, from 2005: my Mum and her husband Brian with me at the Portland Japanese Garden, during their visit to the US. #ThrowbackThursday #52years
On the homestead blog: I thought I’d conclude the homestead blog with a guided tour around the property. Yes, with some bonus duck and chicken pictures.
On Friday (during our house inspection) we went to a favorite restaurant for lunch, McMenamins Roadhouse, maybe for the last time. It has fascinating architecture, and pleasant gardens.
I enjoy our small pond and stream, that gives a pleasant sound of trickling water from the deck.
On the homestead blog: various flowers that are blooming around the homestead at present (more in the post). 🌼🌱
So nice of us to install a salad bar for the deer! Here’s a GIF of one sampling the flavors, before Jenn chased her off. 🌱🦌
Looking from the fountain garden towards the cat house, with a whirligig, irises, rocks, maple tree, bird feeders, the cat house, and more visible. 🌼
