I've been thinking I should do something like this for a while now...
I now present, a tour of my backyard!

Here's a sort of wide-shot of the whole yard.

My little herb garden. So far I've only got a few sprouts, but I think it's coming along very nicely.

Here's the newest addition to our yard. My dad saw a planter like this online and created his own. The bottom boxes are tomatoes, the lower middle is my peppermint and spearmint, then peppers on the next level, then my rosemary and sage with another pepper between them, then my dad's onions on the top.

Our cat Max. The cats are indoor-outdoor, though they're only allowed out during the day in the summertime.

My mother's bean plants. This bed actually used to be our sandbox when we were kids.

My sister's garden. It used to be my fairy garden when I was younger. In a month or so I might do this again so you can see all the pretty blooms. Right now everything's still very green.

Our cat Sam.

My grandmother's miniature yard scene, sitting in an old wooden wishing well.

Our squirrel feeder. It's kind of bright, but I've dumped some leftover cereal on it.

This used to be a running fountain, but it got dirty and no one bothered to clean it. So, we put in a few stones and some dirt and turned it into a planter. It's a very Pinterest-y sort of thing to do.

This handsome gentleman perched on our neighbor's roof and started making quite the noise. I suppose he just wanted his picture taken.

Our birdbath. This was actually disused a few days ago, but we've started filling it up again.

This gazebo was moved here last summer when that fence was built. There's another raised flowerbed on the other side of it.

The birdfeeder. On the other side of that window is a place the cats like to sit!

An old bench that we use to hold pots of things.

The big vegetable garden. We've got squash and cucumbers and pumpkins this year.

Another seat-turned-planter. This swing chair used to be a favorite place to sit, especially for us kids, until it got rather dirty and moldy.

Our hammock. Recently repaired.

The fire pit. Recently knocked down in size. It used to have this tall chimney of bricks.

The tent. We sleep outside for a while every summer, but this is this tent's first year, actually.

The gardening shed.

And a flap that leads to a little space in our garage with a food bowl for stray cats. There are a couple that come around, though I suspect that our own cats eat from it just as much.

And that's our yard. It's small, but it's nice.
