My Backyard-List

My northern backyard is very private in my hometown of Bellingham, Washington state…well, I’m technically in the county, across the street from the city, but that is another poem…I’m lucky because I can’t see any other buildings or roads yet. In my 1 acre backyard when you are sitting in the porch looking out you will find: 1 small old barn A field Tall golden grass Ferns One old Dodge pick-up Mole hills A rose arbor Roses A double wood swing Day lilies One small pond A footbridge A double lamp post A grove of bamboo One hummingbird feeder A wood carved statue of an eagle Bird feeders Two big mossy rocks Holly bushes Many huge cedar trees Pine Trees Alder trees Song birds Owls Squirrels Dried cobs of corn Birdseed One gas bbq My 17’ RV One playhouse porch One home in the backyard 3rd place Written:7-30-2019 Writing Challenge 3, July 2019 - List - Poetry Contest Dear Heart

Your backyard sounds like my backyard except I do not have an RV. I don't need one, and I doubt that you do.Why would you ever want to leave? Nice list poem!

Ha! it is where I live while I am here...rented out my house so I can live in Mexico...too cold here for me except in July and August...even though I love Autumn here too but I spend it up in Canada for a family visit now.

Thanks Michelle...It is a slice of heaven when the sun is out...a bit cold when it's raining!

I love moss too...I just wish my trees hadn't grown so tall
