The Backyard.

You asked for it. Or someone did. Pictures of our backyard. I love it. With a few "candywions" (dandelions) for future bouquets from Izzy to adorn our kitchen. I love them, too. Is there anything sweeter than a crumpled pile of weeds, er, flowers from your baby meant to brighten your day?

I remember thinking it would make my mom so happy to get some flowers. So it warms my heart that Bizzizzy would think the same. I tell her I love them and she usually jumps up and down and says, "Oh, good! My mom is so happy! She wuvs candywions!" Too stinkin' cute. So, this is our backyard. FYI: To push mow this lawn with our mulching mower, 4.5 hours will not even get you to the swingset.



Zane bought a rider. (I'll have to put up a picture later. For the male readers of my blog. I don't understand the fascination with lawn mowers and such, but I don't have to.)


This view above this comment is from my sliding glass door. The one below, is the same view from the railing of the deck. In case you wanted to know.

Gorgeous house Mindi!! I had a lot of catching up to do on reading your blog, I have a hard time finding time these days... Kaija is getting so big and is absolutely ADORABLE!! Wish I could meet her sooner rather than later, hope you guys make a trip here -- you never know we may even pop on down to Detroit this summer:)

Love the space Mindi! I am a country girl, so I would love those woods. I'm sure you are enjoying it...will have to come and check it out one of these days.

And lawn mowers + men = obsession! At least for mine anyways...he loves his riding mower. :)

Can't wait to see it this summer! I hope you are home when I am in town! Jason had been dreaming of a John Deere riding mower for a few years now, but has been making due with a used riding mower. Maybe some day!
