Our yard

Though living in a house rather than an apartment has come with a little more work and complications, it is so worth it to have a yard! 
In our yard we have an apple tree.
 Just this week some of the apples grew large enough to be eaten.
They taste just like Granny Smith apples!  It is so fun to just go grab an apple for a snack off your own tree!

We also have a peach tree.  The peaches are growing, but not yet ready to be eaten. 
 

We also have a lot of rose bushes.   
 They are everywhere in Colorado.  It must be the perfect climate for them to flourish.  They are beautiful when in bloom, but to be honest I think they are kind of a pain in the butt.  Ours grow high, but they aren't very strong so they need to be trimmed up.  I cannot tell you how many times those dang thorns have squeezed a curse out of me.

We love having a yard for gardening, projects, and grilling, but the main reason we are so thankful for our yard is because this little pup loves to be outside.  And we love her...
