welcome to our backyard..


Over the years of living here our backyard has transformed just about as many times as our front yard. And like our front yard, it's finally coming together just as we imagined it to be. Now to some, it might just look like an overgrown backyard wilderness. To us, it's just what we envisioned.




It's becoming this crazy life of it's own. It's so interesting to see what is going to pop up. Random ground covers, flowers and ferns are taking over the yard...and we couldn't be happier.





Some people may look at it as laziness. We look at it as being natural and letting the land do what it whats to. Who wants perfectly mowed grass and pristine lawns that are treated with chemicals? Certainly not the bugs and insects. Certainly not us. The girls LOVE the back yard as do all the insects, butterflies, bugs, bees and birds. It will only get better as more trees and wild flowers take over. Our little forest in the middle of the city.

thanks andrea- it's getting there =)
I love this, mainly because this is what our entire place looks like right now too! A couple of weeks ago it was looking really nice with just fields of flowers everywhere, but now those flowers have gone and we are left with wheat like grassing coming up past my waist, haha. But I still love it, it's what nature would be doing if we weren't hear so why not just let it keep doing its thing :)

it's really funny, i saw earlier today someone post a picture of a home they used to live in and the side yard was overgrown with beautiful wild flowers and long grasses. they were appalled and people were commenting how "lazy" people were and that it was a "field of ticks and disgusting laziness"

i think it is amazing how brainwashed people are. that people think that "beauty" is perfectly manicured lawns and that beauty can't be allowing nature to take over and allow it to do what what it's supposed to do - just be wild. everyone can have their own opinion, but when someone links "laziness" to nature - it makes me cringe a little at the ignorance that swells in our culture.

i am in awe of you home and what you have created- xx, trisha
