Today, we (I mean my husband, while I watched) did something very important to make this feel like home. We hung the swing in the backyard.
The anticipation was great. My husband used a tiny Tow Mater with twine attached to it to launch over the giant branch above. Genius. God created men to do stuff like this. I never would have figured that out. Ever. After the twine was over the desired spot, rope was then attached to the twine and pulled up.
There was lots of experimenting with knot tying. Thank goodness my husband was a boy scout.
And, then much fun was had.
And my yard became even more perfect than it already was, because kids will be having lots of fun down there. Now, we just need an in-ground trampoline down there too, don’t you think?
I pinch myself every time I go out in our backyard. I absolutely love it.

We put up a swing set over sixteen years ago. My husband painted it today and it is still enjoyed by my youngest. Happy days!

I always love your pictures. I’d constantly pinch myself if I had that yard. Gorgeous.

I like how you can’t see neighbors and have lots of trees.

Where is the picture of YOU on the swing? 🙂
