Grass!

This was the 'back yard' area we've had for the last two years. Not much to look out on, that's for sure!

My husband and kids tore out the deck for me as a Mother's Day present when I was in New Jersey, and at some point this summer they gave me an instant yard by laying some sod, bark and bushes. 

And now, I actually want to open up the curtains, which lets the sun in, which puts us all in a better mood! What a difference a wee bit of grass can make!

Thanks, love!
