Walk with me, around my yard

Want to walk with me? My yard is small so it won't take long.

This is a sandbox I made using sandbags we had from hurricane Irma. It's pretty great because the boys can sit on the sandbags that are still full and as the sand supply diminishes, I can use surrounding sandbags to replenish.

My yard is filled with toys. We live in a pretty nice neighborhood and my yard seems to be the only one with toys in the yard and that's cool with me. They are used basically everyday.

This tree is very special to me. It's a poinciana. My stepmom grew it from her tree gave it to me. I planted it when I was pregnant with Wyatt. The week that Fletcher was born it gave us it's first bloom. Poincianas are also known as "flame trees" because of the bright red flowers when in bloom. Right now she's sparse, but she's beautiful when full of leaves!

We have a couple hooters on our property. Burrowing owls. They've lived here longer than we have. Or at least the family line. Every year they come, have babies, then everyone moves out. Then the cycle repeats. They are a protected species, so no one messes with them ❤️

Even my dogs know to leave them alone 😁

This is Libby. She's an old lady now. We've had her since she was a baby. Our first child. She's a bitch.

This is Baxter. He's our huge American bulldog. He's very cool.

This is our boat. As you can probably tell it hasn't been out in a long time. Hurricane Irma ripped the top. We'll replace it one of these days. Maybe we'll get her in the water in March!?!

We have coconut trees. Honestly they suck. They are right next to the drive way and sprinkle my car with black spots that attract wasps. But @dan-s likes to drink the coconut milk. I think it's gross. 🤢

That's it. Thanks for walking with me. And thanks to @lyndsaybowes for the concept. Check out others on the tag #walkwithme
