Metchosin Magic







Last weekend we attended the "greening of the slope"- a house warming at Sheila and Anne's new farm in Metchosin. What a lovely spot - if you look carefully, you will see sheep wandering around the neighbouring field.









Front yard of the house...nice shady areas and gorgeous gardens.











The house - lots of work to do here, but these 2 are up for it! Many charming features and the ocean view is wonderful.











Whimsical gate at the property line that backs onto a forest and creek.











Ocean view from the front yard - even more amazing from the house higher up.












Fenced gardens for the deer to drool over but not indulge in.











Magical pond with fish in a shady glen.....













Perfect place to relax on a summer afternoon.....













Back yard overlooks the gardens and the "slope" at the back of the 2 acres which will soon be planted.










Garage/barn which has stalls (and Anne loves horses, so wait for that announcement....!!!) and holds firewood at the moment. Many friends came to celebrate this new space and I am sure it will be a constant gathering place over the coming years.









Chiik "helps" Miki drive sometimes.....of course he looked away just as I was about to snap this pic....what a boy!
