My Corner of the Yard

I love this corner of the yard, tucked up against the gate into the front yard under the apple tree. The English Ivy has dutifully worked its way up the trunk of the tree, and I love the way it looks, even though it is considered a noxious weed.

I've got my birdbath in the raised bed in the corner, with an old church window propped up against the fence. It's the coolest place to sit on hot summer days, and I like watching the birds fly in and out of the birdhouses in the tree.
