backyard

It was hard to be productive over the weekend, wasn't it?  Didn't you just want to spend all your time outdoors, relaxing, and enjoying the green trees and colorful flowers.  The sounds of birds chirping almost put me in a trance after I ate dinner outside yesterday...

Remember the "snow coaster" from back in December? Well I think that these families need to get together and set up the most epic backyard snow theme park ever! This snowbound family made the best of their situation with an awesome DIY luge course. Check it out for yourself:

So far, we've gotten lucky on the snow front at the end of the year (I'm knocking on wood as I type that), but when we do get some snow, it might be worth recreating this awesome "snow coaster".

I don't know what it is about backyard do it yourself thrill rides, but it seems to be a trend these days.

It was a perfect weekend to get your backyard ready for Spring

As Summer draws to an end, do you enjoy your outdoor living space in to Fall ?

Remember I mentioned that this year I was going to try my hand at gardening?  Well, I've mainly been watching my boyfriend do the gardening, BUT I'm asking lots of questions and learning from him.  I promise I'll plant something myself before the season is out...

Do you enjoy a nice fall night in your backyard?
