Sally's Park

We are very pleased with the way our park property cleaned up.
 

Sally's Park is in memory of Charles Williams who lived there for 32 years.  He was our neighbor and friend.  We are very glad he preserved the Live Oak trees which are over 200 years old and passed them on to us to admire and enjoy.  

These are some of the Live Oak and
Camellia trees after the old house was torn down before the clean up.
 

The same trees after Marilyn's and Carole's Landscape Service took care of them.

More beautiful trees and grass.



Here's how the back of the property looked before Terry's Cleanup Service started work.

Sally enjoying the Pecan grove.  Those trees do produce nuts to pay for the taxes.

There were times when we thought we bit off more than we could chew and we would never get it all looking like a place for a walk in the woods let alone a park.



But we kept at it and when the grass came up we saw our vision materialize.
 

There's our house and barn through the trees just a pleasant walk away.



We enjoyed the new swing all winter long on pretty days.  A few more benches and we'll be ready for a cook out.



Toby loves to run around the trees hunting for squirrels and playing with his neighborhood pack.

Just for the fun of it.  Sally's Toby's Marilyn's Terry's Madison's Cooper's Carole's and Ricks. place to hang out.

New Swing for our Park



Using a 250 year old Live Oak tree to hang the swing.


Neighbor Rick helping to get the height just right.

Toby and Marilyn get the first turn.

Toby Marilyn Terry try it.


Terry sees how high it will swing.
Here's the view. Pink Camelia trees


Sally and Toby would rather just run.

 




Soon the newest member of our pack, Carole's Maddie, will be running here too
