Looking Out My Window

by Mardene Schuling

Our back yard has a paved patio right outside the door. There is a square fire pit on the patio.

To the left there is a rock garden with several large rocks of various colors and shapes scattered over a bed of smaller rocks.

There are several large oak trees on the lawn. Near the back fence we have two young cedar trees and three evergreen shrubs.

A curving sidewalk leads from the patio to the back alley.

We have seed and suet feeders in two trees for the birds. There is a pedestal bird bath on the lawn.

In the front, our house looks out on the sidewalk and street. We have an oak tree and a mountain ash tree in the front yard.
