We just have a cute little 2 bedroom cottage in California but it is definitely "long awaited"!

W...Thank you for all these great suggestions Lisa! We definitely won't take it out. Function always will trump looks for us. I really like the idea for the Sunflowers and painting it green or brown. I think that might be my next project! We planted arborvitae last year at the very back of our property to block our brush pile. We had a very bad drought in New England and could not water them because everyone's wells were failing so they all died. The nursery suggested we try Juniper instead so that could be another idea as well. I am so glad you came by!<br />Warmly, GloriaThe Long Awaited Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16304176137874621901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589369660228189481.post-48474025295917576122017-08-01T11:10:49.064-04:002017-08-01T11:10:49.064-04:00It is a lot of work, both the gardens and the dogs...It is a lot of work, both the gardens and the dogs, but I keep telling my hubby the work is what keeps us young!<br />Warmly, GloriaThe Long Awaited Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16304176137874621901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589369660228189481.post-42114752795813747922017-08-01T11:10:07.016-04:002017-08-01T11:10:07.016-04:00Sometimes I just sit and stare, and then I keep no...Sometimes I just sit and stare, and then I keep noticing everything that still needs to be done and can't relax.

As for...Your landscaping is so colorful and pretty. As for the septic vent, you could paint it green or brown so it's less noticeable than the white. We painted ours. It just blends in now up the hill. Another idea, plant some sunflowers toward the side that you see the most. It won't affect the pipe as long as you don't dig there with a shovel. You could use a hand spade to just drop the seeds. We install septic systems and camouflage the pipe especially if it's to the front of the property. We have put a few 4' arborvitae toward the front of pipe so it totally blocks it. It's just a matter of what the homeowner wants. Just some ideas. Our neighbors took out their candy cane and it wasn't too long after that their leaching field failed.
