As an apartment renter, sometimes I miss having a yard.
I love when I go to my parent’s house and sit on the front or back porch and just listen to the dozens of different bird calls and smell the earthy grass and trees.
I find that backyards are a great place for quiet as well as good conversation.
I look forward to having a house and yard again one day (and my husband can’t wait to get a grill), but right now I feel privileged to be invited to people’s homes for cookouts and pool parties.
I treasure time in a backyard spent eating, laughing and hanging out with new and old friends.
