A very hot day today. Not my kind of weather. There are a lot of weeds/vines to get rid of in the back yard. I should go and deal with it as they are very long in spots too. But the bright sun is shining straight onto the...

CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 28 Jul 21

Snapped this photo from the deck a few minutes ago. A nice bright cloud and then a dark cloud above it. This is how I feel sometimes. Like a dark cloud is following me. Then it disappears and all is well. That is life. No rain...

Some Have Lions....

Four Walls @FourWalls (86568) • United States 13 Mar 19

Have you seen those "welcoming" animals that people have at the entrance to their driveways, or on the walkway leading to the front door? They're anything from concrete to marble. Some put lions to "guard" their homes. Me? I...

Last fall, I took Kobe's dog house apart to thoroughly wash it down. After I finished the rinse job, it was set out in the back-yard to dry in the sun. Kobe leaves nothing alone, as you can clearly see. Whatever gets left in his...

Love that Corn, but the Dog Next Door Scared Me Away - That may well have been what our corn-eating deer was thinking. There it was, nose deep into the bucket of deer corn hanging on the back fence and, suddenly the big dog...

Is a swing set worth buying if you have a yard?

Robyn @floridachick (603) • United States 17 Feb 12

I would say yes, when we first moved into our house there was nothing in the backyard for the kids to play, then we got a swing set and they are always running around in the back yard. If you have to room for it I would definitely...
