I am looking forward to the garden...will be very different for me as now I have full sun in the front and in the backyard, too often tidal waters limit the plant selection. We are sooooo coastal in this house, looking forward to leaving hurricanes behind. I think being on the lake we will have a good amount of wildlife. <br /><br />Hi Anna, The new dock was a big focal point of one of us ;-) when we were down there. <br />I hope the trees vs yard balance is good. I know once the yard is graded it will look different.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-2577363082661000622009-10-14T21:53:12.679-04:002009-10-14T21:53:12.679-04:00Oh Gosh, it really is coming along.

It turned out pretty and look at all that fresh wood. <br /><br />It does look like you left the right amount of trees so the setting stayed natural. I think you did perfectly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-73828726185360101642009-10-14T20:52:49.365-04:002009-10-14T20:52:49.365-04:00Janet,

A bit colder in the winter, about the same in the summer (maybe a bit cooler - ha!)<br /><br />What fun to contemplate! But I would feel a bit sad about all of the coastal wildlife you're leaving behind, but not sad about escaping the hurricane threats, to be sure. We're quite happy to be in the Piedmont ourselves...<br /><br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657232418012801175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-5558887441557914702009-10-13T21:50:18.242-04:002009-10-13T21:50:18.242-04:00Hi Cameron, Our view is really wonderful.

There are some with emotional attachment that I will bring, others, well, gosh--I guess I will have to go plant shopping. ;-)<br /><br />Hi Catherine, It is getting more exciting as we see some forward progress.

You and Meg know so much about butterflies and dragonflies and damsels..... wow. It isn't hot on the lake! They also are telling us there are no mosquitos! ha!<br /><br />Hi Tatyana, you betcha! Location baby! Not sure how to deal with the beaver....new adventure.<br /><br />Hi Bangchik, Our back porch which looks over the lake faces north, which is ideal in the south, not too hot. <br /><br />Hi Tina, Will send you my first landscape plan. It is very exciting. <br /><br />Hi Noelle, Thanks for visiting here. I think I have been planning the garden before we settled on house plans. Now that we see the trees that are left and the shade on either side there will be some adjustments. Our HOA required a landscape plan, so am working with a landscaper. <br /><br />Hi Sweetbay, thanks! Being on the water is great.
