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!
