Lamentable

Our back yard is definitely lamentable. It has no glorious flowers like Calico's, it has no big Christmas tree like Kt's, it has no snow or special garden boxes like Linny's and it has no awesomeness like the farm. Sometimes I walk out and despair, pull my hair out or just sob, depending upon the time of the month and just how messy it is. This morning I had put the washing out and was doing some inside work when I heard delighted cries coming from outside. I peeked out the window and could very easily have lamented over my very bad back yard....however I delighted. The 'on school holidays- yah' kidlets had turned the back yard into the moon, donned their space suits complete with breathing apparel (thank you Mr Youldon) and were playing. They never despair over the backyard. They just enjoy it...every weed and dirt patch becomes their playground and that is good enough for me. I love what my kids teach me...everyday.
