My favourite place? My very special backyard haven.
This backyard was built and grown with love. Our family has lived in this house since 1964 so the different transformations that have happened in this yard have been dramatic over the years, from the massive cedars in the very beginning, to the roses and bonsi juniper that are still here today.
In the late '60s, my father invented an all-season patio cover on wheels.
This fabulous outdoor fixture (with electricity) protected our family from the elements for years, and still does. This cover is on wheels so that you can move it around the backyard where you want it. It has stood the test of time.
There is also an attachment that hooks onto it to cover the stairs.
It has had different decor through the years -- everything from lanterns to balloons -- but my favourite is the way it is now. It has become our Shisha tent. We entertain and dine under it all the time and it is always a conversation piece.
