It is official and I willingly confess I actually envy folks that have backyards, washer machines, or dishwashers. Not so much the fancy cars, jewelry, or designer anything one might have. I know my perspective has been shifted by three little ones because the space at the Granites House this afternoon made me want to move in.

The boys were running around

playing in a homemade tent.

Olivine had a toy picnic

and we swung in their hammock.

It was lovely.

The trade off is most folks I know with a backyard, don’t live as a close as we do to the ocean so I should just be grateful for what I have been given. Right??
