Even though the back yard looks like it has been hit by something like a tornado combined with a hurricane, a great drought and a whirlwind or two, it has in fact only had a couple of little boys playing every sport imaginable in it. It is amazing how two boys and 37 soccer balls, baseball sets, american football and a badminton set (and me) can turn a yard into a mud pit. And even more amazing than this is that some flowers survived!
The roses smell lovely – the boys think the yellow ones smell best:
Some even made it into the house!
