In our backyard: wildflowers, chrysanthemums, summer squash
Amanda and I bought our first house together, here in Lancaster city, just over a year ago. This season we were eager to spruce up our backyard and use the space to do some urban gardening (if it qualifies as that—it’s an unusually large yard for a city property).
Here are some photos of the color that has emerged and that we’re enjoying today.

Thanks for allowing me to share some of the natural beauty of our Lancaster backyard!
