Backyard at the new house

Amber and I are thoroughly enjoying our new "backyard". I wanted to share with you guys just how cute our little back porch area is because it's one of our favorite places of the townhouse. Pictures of the rest of the house will be posted soon for those of you that haven't been to visit yet (shame on you!). We even have plants that we have been keeping alive for two whole months, quite the feat for us. And we have a hummingbird feeder that I have seen birds come to many times, which is fun. The recycling bins are a proud purchase for us too. I know it's strange for people to be proud of their recycling bins, but we searched high and low for those things and they are just what we were looking for.

For my birthday, Jimmy even got me a fun game that takes advantage of the yard space, Baggo or "cornhole". It's even a game that Amber (the "game hater") has approved of AND enjoys playing. We are practicing our skills this week after work because we're having a yard games lawn party this weekend and we need to be ready to take on our guests!

P.S. Totally unrelated, but this was on MSN today. Read, enjoy, join the crusade against crocs (sorry Ellie, it's not your fault)! http://www.newsweek.com/id/150240/&GT1=43002
