View of the house as you walk up from the river. We LOVE our two decks so much on the house that Tom had to build another one by the river! See below.
This is the view to the right when standing on the deck by the river. Bee-u-ti-ful. I haven't yet made friends with the horses next door - there is a foal and the mother is still a bit nervous every time I approach. 
The deck that Tom built - we've named it Jackson Square after one of my fave places in New Orleans. The deck is my favorite place to sit b/c it overlooks the river and it's so peaceful. We often see deer. The dogs swim and I read or just chill - for me, this bliss. Didn't Tom do an amazing job? I'm so proud. 
View from the river looking up toward the house - Tom has been clearing the land b/c it is overgrown with wild roses - sounds pretty, but it just means that the thorny vines have taken over everything - they practically smothered 3 Dogwood trees which we were thrilled to find! So that's why some of the land is charred - Tom likes doing 'controlled burns'. I've already planted a rose garden (not pictured) by the deck.
