Namesakes

-

We thought for a while about whether the new place should have a name or not. And if so what sort of name it should have.

After eliminating choices for a variety of reasons, we finally settled on Retriever Ridge.

First for the two boys that led us in this direction. The "cocoa puff" came into our family a little while after our previous dog passed. We rescued the "cream puff" last fall. I suppose he is our "pandemic pup" in a way, though he was already fully grown when we got him. Having the two of them meant a townhouse or rowhouse was not really suitable. We needed a yard where they could enjoy their best life.



And second for the fact that there are a couple of ravines on the property. One along the northern edge and the other that runs south of the house, thus resulting in a "ridge" or plateau between them.

The Property

-

The property is over 13 acres with a mixture of woodland, meadow/prairie, and mown areas. And a 900 foot long driveway. Meadow #1. Not much to say. The previous owner fancied himself an artist and had some sculpture placed around the property. The stone in the foreground was the base of one of the sculptures. We've moved it to a different location and will move the stones later. Meadow #2. The mound just behind the trees on the left is the new septic field. I seeded it with native prairie plants when the work completed. Meadow #3 is behind meadow #2 and is being prepared for a deer plot. It will provide alternate food sources and might keep them away from the purposeful landscaping. Dogtown is included in the area protected by invisible fence. This perspective is from the driveway toward the house. This view of dogtown is from the house looking back at the vantage point of the previous photo. View from the edge of dogtown looking the opposite direction toward the pool with the gard...

Surprises

-

Because we bought the place in the winter, the landscaping is a never ending series of surprises, in a good way. Every week something different is in bloom. And the previous owners did a good job of planting edible landscape. Herbs (chives, sage, thyme, oregano, dill), green onion, rhubarb, strawberries, blueberries, red & black raspberries, blackberries (just starting to flower), apples, plums, and more. We've harvested and eaten quite a bit as it ripens, but have been too busy to get it all. I have several gallon bags of frozen berries and rhubarb saved for later...

Antique Brick Pavers

-
Image
There are recycled antique brick pavers in various locations around the house, pool, and gardens. Some of the bricks have markings on the end rather than the face or long side. While others have no markings at all. The unmarked ones have a pair of "keys" along one side. They keys allow the pavers to lock together more securely. In some cases the brick pavers are used for paths and in others for borders/edging between some of the garden beds and the lawn. In other cases, the edging uses other materials.  Our plan is to use only bricks for the edging. We should have more than enough.  We'll keep the brick pavers for the walking paths to the pole barn and make the paths a little wider. The path from the house to the pool will use natural stone rather than bricks, eventually.
