Backyard Follies

Our new backyard has quickly established itself as the place to be. Russell and Punky want to play there morning, day and night. They refer to it as "Mommy's garden". Tonight, we let them run around the back until they both tried to escape to the front of the house.

There are still a couple of details that need to be completed, namely the gate that will completely enclose the backyard and an arch that will separate the Victory Garden from Jenny's Garden. I am also thinking a lot about the design of the barbeque pit next to the Victory Garden that I am planning to build out of the leftover bricks and stone.

This summer, we will be spending a lot of time in the backyard, entertaining friends and family and just hanging out. It may sound boring, but that's what our lives have become.
