project: front yard

this is the front door to meadowlark. welcome!
gardening, tree round furniture, wooden pieces ( for making bridges and ramps...)
playhouse with an eco-roof. tires to climb on and plant things in. more tree rounds for climbing, a bridge found 2nd hand and fixed up.... the yard is comin' along nicely, if i do say so myself.

ok... i've realized i'm not much of a "blogger". my last post was months ago. oops.
i've been busy working on the front yard at meadowlark. it's the size of a postage stamp! i've had many dreams of big yards with trees and room to run all over the place, but nope. not possible here. i kept my yard mostly empty with just grass for making it easy to run ( at least a little bit) but the grass turned to mud and the yard was messy and boring. so, i decided to make things to play with, climb on, hide behind, crawl under, etc... here's a few pics of what's happened so far. the kids are having fun and being much more creative in their play with all the new "props" in the yard. not pictured: narrow side yard with sandbox ( that i want to re-make next!) and rabbit hutch. ( we love our furry friends.)
