Explanations

I need to explain something to those of you who might be new to my blog. My family already knows me well so they need none.

Our backyard is not pretty. It is flat out disgusting. We have very little grass. Most of it is either weeds or dirt (which becomes a lot of mud when it rains). Our yard is not very big.

However, because I love my grandchildren so very much, my backyard is for them to have fun in. We had to move the gazebo to the driveway (which we don't use because the garage is full of junk - my husband's junk - tools, snowblower, lawnmower, tool boxes, and piles of other miscellaneous crap). It is a single garage anyway. The gazebo originally sat where the pool now is, but we needed to move the pool to that spot to get out from under the many power lines that criss cross our yard. As you might notice, our garage is also in a desperate need of a paint job. The previous owners used the wrong kind of paint and it is peeling off the garage like skin from a bad sunburn - actually even worse. Since we need to power wash the garage and house to repaint it, it is one of those projects that is probably going to take a couple of years before we can get it finished (or get around to it!) We would like to replace our windows before we paint.

Anyway....back to my yard. The kids have a sandbox, a swingset, a huge pool, and multiple riding toys to play with back there. My yard is "kid friendly".

Some day....when my little babies are all grown....(sad sigh here..........) I might be able to have grass............................................
