I miss the old backyard sometimes…

February 21st, 2008 |

There are some things I just absolutely love about the house we are living in, but then there are some I don’t. Even though our house was a brand new lot when we moved in about 10 years ago, I still miss some stuff from our old house.

The major I thing I really miss is the enormous backyard we had. There was so much room to do all sorts of things and the outdoor lighting was always superb. Now our backyard is three quarters of what it used to be and to me, that’s quite a difference.

I can’t add a large pool in the backyard we have now because there isn’t enough room with the peach tree and garden we have. At our old house, I easily fit one without any hassles. This is one of the things I really don’t like because I want a huge pool. Arggh…

And no…my parents don’t want to move. *sigh*

Summer will be here really soon…

birdbath.gifIt’s almost February already. Can you believe it? Pretty soon we’ll slide past spring and into the warm air of summer.

Of course that’s when your gardening gloves come on and you start working around the clock to beautify your garden or backyard. Well, it’s that way at my else anyways.

My mother loves decorating our backyard with flowers, vegetables, fruit trees, and of course other lawn decorations. The one thing I noticed that we don’t have is a birdbath fountain.

I saw some awesome ones which you can read more about. I especially like this one in the picture off to the side. It would really go with the rest of the decorations we have. Plus, my neighbour has a bird house on his fence, and we always have bird around. Then they can come and bath in the birdbath whenever they want.

Hum…what’s the next occasion for my mom. Mother’s Day. Maybe I’ll get that for her as a gift then. Heehee…I KNOW she’ll love it!!
