On May 30, 2009, the demolition crew took down the carriage house. They were masters of their trade. Gravity sent a few boards into our yard, but the fence wasn't disturbed at all.
The vista really opened up with the carriage house gone. By the way, those sticks in the ground are solar lights that Lloyd got at Walmart. The ceramic sculpture at the base of the kissing tree needs to be raised up a bit, but I really like it there. One of the dragonflies I made is just to the right of it.
