THE YARD
One day as I sit looking out the kitchen window at the backyard, I thought about all the yards I had experienced in my lifetime. ... We made it our yard with the help of a fence. ... My grandmother had a few spring flowers planted in the yard. ... The yard was crisscrossed with several sidewalks were I played as a child. The yard offered many possibilities for a girl of 5. ... I didn’t know it then but this yard was just one of many I would experience.
When I was 8 my parents built a house, the yard was an undeveloped pile of rocks and red clay dirt. ... I had a swimming pool in this yard. ... I liked this yard but it was not my favorite one. ...
When I was 15 we moved up north and our yard there left a lot to be desired. ... I helped my mother plant flowers and trees in her new yard. We had 65 rose bushes and 30 trees that we dug up and planted in her yard. ... This was the last yard my mother designed herself, as she passed in 1990. ... At the time I was helping her I really didn’t want to do all that hard work, but now I am glad I did as it has paid off in my own yard.
