BACKYARD 08~ Life of a backyard junkie~~

~~ATTIC CLUTTER~~



Oh just thinking about how fun life 'can be' in a backyard ~~



~~Ryan~~

~~Carter~~
Ryan Carter's daddy when he was about the same age.. he looks alittle older not sure how old he was here forsure(:) bad bad mom ~














~~Carter chomping on pretzels~~

Backyard Fun
















Carter with his little finger poking his chapstick~~





'his new chair'











Just exploring(:)












Me, Carter and Pill BUGS or Curl-ups ..we call them

update(:) Robin @ bittersweetpunkin said they call them Roley-Poleys..LOL

well they have mulltiple names I guess..






































Curl-ups or pill bug






they are tiny about 1/4 inch






they curl up into a tight ball so cute.........LOL(:)





Whenever Carter my little grandson (14 months old now), and I go outback and sit in the flowerbed and look for curl-ups(the little bug that rolls itself into a ball) Its so fun to find them~~ they crawl up his tiny palm he gets so excited they don't bite so its a safe toy ..Ofcourse I taught him to be very careful with them -you know me I don't like to kill anything living(:) I used to do this same thing with his daddy when he was a tiny little one..







I suppose I would never eat meat if I saw the process ..ugh (:(



I have family stories of how my mother- in -law used to chop off the chickens heads an they did run around for a bit OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH UGH ~~double UGH!~~~~I sure wouldn't like that job .. She was a wonderful cook though delishious fried chicken,pies,etc








My garden '07'gourd stockpile~~










Where like to have me lemonade under the shade of the trees surrounding the deck..(:)
as cool a place as there is without going into the AC'd house...


The chicken in the flowerbed has some hens'n'chicks in it~~



The yellow chairs and table I got this year..
The groundcover all along the fence is wonderful comes back every year and hold back all weeds(:) A VERY good thing~~Weeding isn't a fun thing ..is it??



My garden is doing well as of early June~~ So far so good~~


The Japanese Maple is lace and huge it covers my kitchen window , adding some cool shade..



looking out my kitchen window~~

This tree is another keeper comes back every year bigger and better then the year before.. a green japanese maple~~it is airy enough that even though it blocks my Kitchen window I can still see through the lace leaves.. It gets really hot here in the summer(90-105) so any shade is a good shade~~(:)

  4. Hi ...such sweet backyard photos!! I have to be honest with you...after my parents got divorced we moved in with my Grandparents on their farm..I vividly remember my Grandfather chopping the head off the chicken and then seeing it run around the pen like crazy without it's head....as kids we were amazed that it could still run around without its head. Oh the joys of Farm Life!!

    I have that same green bunny dish...we call those bugs Roley-Poleys.
    Hugs,
    Robin

    Your backyard is lovely...it is so green and lush. I love the view from your kitchen window...it reminds me of being in a secret garden.

  8. Your yard is so lovely. Carter is such a cutie. Do you grow the gourds in your yard? My SIL grew some because she liked to carve them but they rotted during the drying process.

  10. What a fun trip meandering around your place! I so enjoyed it!
    The kiddos are little darlings and I'm sure good little childrens! :)
    We have those buggies too. I call them ROLY-POLYS.
    We used to butcher chickens and rabbits for our freezer on our farm. Must say... just not that hungry anymore! winkwink.... NO way.
    Have a beautiful weekend.
