Once you exit the covered back patio, walk up the metal black steps. Mind the gap. Walk past the solar-powered water wheel and bird-of-paradise plant. Go past the second and third tiers on the right and the windmill on your left. Sneak behind the bamboo forest to the two hidden eggshell swings. Pass through the arbor with the beaded screen. Walk down the wooden stairs past the lime and lemon trees and multiple wind spinners on the far side of the garden. You’ll hear the sound of the powerful main fountain, which also acts as a favorite local bird bath on a Roman stool. Walk through the extended arbor tunnel and escape through the portal back toward the first vignette with a fire table, metal picnic table, and other seating fit for a nap in the morning sun. Proceed back over the back deck and to the corner of the house to go under another wood arbor, past the plumb tree. Turn the corner to find another bannister on the kitchen deck, followed by another seating area in front of the hot tub, beyond which is more seating and a swing to capture the afternoon sun. More to come!
