More Yard Projects

Here's another recent yard project. My yard has become a big creative outlet, and also a source of excercise and angst reduction. Occasionally, the kids even play out there with me!


These are birdhouses that the kids painted sometime last spring at a "birdhouse painting party" that we had, sort-of (there were two other people). They've been scattered around the yard, where Bridget says Fairies live in them, but I finally hung them on the fence. We had a disagreement about whether the Fairies would be mad, would enjoy their better view of Mt. Tam, and would be able to get into them, now that they are not on the ground (I mean, come on, these are special walking Fairies?).


These are just some other views of the yard. My pirate ship is looking a little the worse for wear, so that may need some upgrading next spring. It's a little hard to see, but that white thing in the middle of the deck is the sail, blown over the top of the mast, and the hammock sort of thing that you could sit in fell down, and the ship's wheel fell apart, and Noodle chewed up half of it.
