Spring in My Backyard


This is what spring looks like in my backyard right now.


This is my view from the kitchen table where I make my to do lists:

Green grass, blooming pear trees, & pretty water! Those dark spots along the back edge of the pond will grow into pretty green grasses. We have to burn them in late winter so that they will continue to grow & be thick & pretty. 

This is where the kids practice soccer & cartwheels. 

The grass is even greener than in these photos. It is so pretty! Soon the trees will fill in with leaves & it will be even prettier.  Mr. F was out here playing his trumpet while throwing a tennis ball to our black lab yesterday. I couldn't get to my camera to snap it.


The sunsets are heavenly. We picked a wonderful place to raise our kids. Lots of happy memories & more to come. Can you see a graduation party here in 5 years?

  8. Hi Cathy, Thanks so much for visiting my blog, I really appreciate your message! I bought 2 Ektorp sofas about 10 years ago, and have gone through a few sets of slip covers (3 kids, pets..) and am really trying to figure out if I should buy more again, or if it's time to change furniture. Decisions, decisions lol. Beautiful post, your yard is absolutely stunning.

  9. Hi Cathy. What a wonderful view of your back yard. So pretty with the pond and lovely trees in bloom. Grass always is so much greener in the spring. It is always emerald until the hot summer sun fades it out. I put your name in the drawing. Good Luck!
