This is a photographic comparison of my home and gardens from the start
in the summer of 2002 and this summer of 2009. I thought it might be
interesting to see the difference seven years makes. (Actually eight
years, as I moved into the house in September 2001.)

This is the front view of my home in 2002 and in 2009. It is amazing how
the trees and plants have grown in seven years. This was a originally a
barren field that had been farmed yearly since 1835.
