When I day dream, I think about all the great things I will one day be able to accomplish in our backyard. I found the first picture in Southern Living Magazine, and decided that one day my yard will look like this picture. I first need to line our (new-thank you Rob and Dad) back fence with birch trees, then pick a different type of tree for both side fences (I'm thinking Red Oaks). This yard in the picture is a perfect rectangle, and our backyard also happens to be a perfect rectangle as well.
Rob is a pretty handy guy when it comes to power tools and building things, so he promised me he would build me that structure to hang 2 swings from. We have a ridiculous amount of left over brick from the house that I have held on to, and now I have found its new purpose. The brick patio the pergola will sit on! I am obviously dreaming of cooler and shadier times for our backyard which has been scorched my the relentless sun around here! Maybe one day I can have my out of town friends over to enjoy our shaded back yard while we sit, swing, and drink sweet tea. Who would like to join me?
