I grew up in a smaller city and I was fortunate that our house had a huge backyard with a pool. Behind our house was a city park full of green space and trees. The park was never busy and it was more or less just the neighbourhood kids who would get together to play games in it. It was so serene and such great memories were made in that backyard/park.
Now, I am living in in the downtown core of Toronto. For those of you that are not familiar with Toronto, this basically means there is no green space. That said, there is a small park behind my condo and I can walk 10 minutes to some of the largest parks in the city. I definitely do not have a backyard given I am in a condo and although I can kick my feet up on my balcony, have a few drinks and relax, it's not the same as a backyard space. I absolutely love where I live and it's proximity to work, transit and basically anything I'd ever need but
I miss having a backyard!
In the spirit of backyard dreamin', here are some of my favourites:

Do you have a backyard? If not, do you wish you had one?
I love that backyard with the sparkling blue pool and fire pit!! I should take a photo of my backyard for you to see.....it's pretty plain and boring! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should! I love simple backyards too and clearly the above photos are not realistic (for me ha!). Thanks for stopping by!

DeleteAmazing backyards! We do have a backyard about an acre. We love it, but there is a downside. Upkeep takes a lot of time.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, definitely a lot of upkeep but an acre sounds wonderful!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
I don't have a back yard but I really want one someday :)
ReplyDeleteI love that fourth pic!
Cheers,
