My Backyard
My backyard is my "oasis". It's raining right now, and me and my four mutts can't go outside and hang out. They can't go outside and pee and poo and play. And I can't go outside and watch all that. My backyard has been my refuge throughout the last 23 years - the place I go to sort out stuff and kinda chill. Yeah, it doesn't have all the accoutrements of a backyard oasis (yet). But it has something that seems kinda rare these days... it has my sky. I can go outside with my hounds and sit on the deck box and feel the sun on my face when it's out there. I can look up facing any direction in my backyard and see the cool, night sky - and our moon and our stars and all the artistry that's been put there for our eyes to glimpse. One of my favorite memories in my backyard is watching the meteor showers that came thru this past year. Lying out on a lounger, with my daughter, looking up into the sky and watching the most amazing light show I've ever see...
