If you can't have a pool, it's at least nice to have some outdoor space to enjoy. I haven't had a backyard in years, and really miss it!
Having just come back from my in-laws who live on the prairies, it's weird being back in Boston where we have no yard and our 'garden' is houseplants. Someday I'll have a yard to call my own!
gah! i'm so jealous of ANYONE who has a back garden! how could you leave that to waste, too, if you've got the extra space (isn't that one of the rental issues people always have with NYC - not enough space?)...i'll never know.
So pretty! City backyards are a whole different species

When I first moved from Chicago to the East Coast- I was in awe by the amount of greenery in the area. I have the same reaction whenever I find that I am in the midst of flora within a city. Enjoy it now, before fall wipes away the green and winter settles in :)
,,,love what "marie viljoen" said from and about her compact, 66sq ft garden space: "i think two people can live well no matter what and no matter where, the idea is to take pleasure in life, and be willing to be pleased." love that you "peeked" over the wall and shared your view from above,,,
My husband and I started our first trial balcony garden this year with very low expectations. When our plants not only survived but actually produced vegetables... we were over the moon. Let me tell you, that first cherry tomato was halved and enjoyed with reverence. It's the small things.
erin-
it is! i'd have done the same.
Ah, things like this make my heart flip. Such happiness in those tiny gardens.
I would love, love, love, LOVE a backyard. One day...
