The Sorry State of Our Backyard

This is our tiny backyard. It has some issues. First of all, the only way to get to it is through the gate, so you have to go around the house to get in. Part of our rental agreement was to get steps put in. Hopefully that will be happening soon.

Perhaps more importantly, though, is the grass, if you can call it grass. When we moved in, we thought that the grass hadn't been mowed before the first snow last year. Now we know it has probably never been mowed. It's basically a fenced in version of the wooded area behind it.

On the positive side, we have some pretty little wild flowers growing back there along the fence.

And because my dad believes that no post is good unless it includes a picture of the twins, here is Catie after devouring a chocolate cupcake.
