We name our yard.
The meadow.
I know! Behold our super-awesome-nerdy-smarts! The meadow! Squee!
Actually, it is a meadow back there. The perimeter of the yard is wooded and there's a grassy knoll (spelled.right.on.the.first.time.I.rock.thanks) and it gets very meadow-y back there.
Especially when it's the middle of May and SOMEONE hasn't mowed yet.
(Aaron, I'm looking at you here.)
(And no, I don't care that you're on a business trip. Magically mow it, damn it.)
This is also the part of the year where we transition from clean, tidy garden to holyfuckignshitexplosion. It's quite a sight.
Makes me want to picnic in my backyard.

I'd love to have a picnic at that meadow!
Pretty meadow...now let's talk about this picnic. I can bring the alcohol if you provide the food.
Makes me want to pull out my watercolor box and do some lovely sketches!
Whoa. Everything there is coming up beautiful!
I love that your backyard is a meadow. Another reason not to call in one of those creepy yard dudes to kill all of the "weeds". Its gorgeous!
That;a one great yard. Lots of people in my town named their houses - with signs and everything because we just got street addresses a year ago. (And that's only because we got 911 service.) You can imagine how challenging it is to get something delivered without an address - names on buildings just made things easier. Ours is Terrapin Station - hubby loves the Grateful Dead and I like turtles, so it worked for both of us.
On a different note, my son had a change of heart about legos - now that he has discovered lego people! I'm so glad I kept on him - thanks.
Meadows are great yard features. I'm cultivating one right now. Pretty honeysuckle and irises.
What a beautiful yard, ahem, meadow.
