Stepping out into the yard, on the left is the bird feeding area left by the owners, and in the back irises around the big tree (not sure what kind, there are a couple deciduous trees and some fruit trees as well as the pine and juniper) The big bricked around bed in the center has several clematis, some violets, something that looks like leftover snow-in-summer, some other dead stuff that got left there, some things I transplanted, and the big tree is sick (what is it, pine borer beetles?) I have some ideas about that........
