A very busy backyard

August 27, 2007 · 9 Comments

In my back yard I have……

  • Bikes
  • Motorbikes
  • Dogs and a cat
  • Roller-skates
  • Scooters
  • Cubbyhouse
  • Dog house
  • Swings
  • Trampoline

What I like doing at home……….

At home I like helping my dad with farm work, playing with my dogs. The dogs names are Fergus and Maggie. I help Dad feed out hay and pellets to the sheep in winter time.

Riding the motorbike is the best fun. It’s a peewee50. Roller-skating is heaps of fun when we ride down the slope near the garage. It is a concrete slope and we sometimes fall over when we are going too fast! And sometimes we crash into the garage door and hurt ourselves.

In my backyard we have heaps of room to play with our pets and toys. We also have another paddock close to our house so we can play Cricket and football and ride bikes plus riding the motorbike and lots more!

Every year we help the people that live next to us do their tree planting and they help us. It’s lots of fun!Out the front of our house we have a big tree that we climb in and play in. And out the back of our house we have another tree that we started to build a cubbyhouse in. Mysister and I play netball so we have so we have a netball ring in our backyard.

A few paddocks away from our house we have a dam that is full now! We also have a woolshed where dad shears the sheep.When he puts the wool in the the wool bails we jump on them and play chasey. I love the smell of fleece wool!

    I loved hearing about your backyard. You had such a lot to tell us and I hope you will keep writing lots for us. It is so good that the dam is full and I liked seeing your cubby house.

    What a wonderful post. I particularly liked being able to see your private universe and I love the cubby too.

    This is so interesting. I especially like how you and your neighbors help each other. What a better world this would be if everyone did this. And I love the picture of your Maggie and Fergus! :)

    I would love to be able to climb up into your treehouse. I had one when I was a child too. So peaceful to be able to sit, hidden by the leaves, and watch the world go by unsconscious of your presence

    This sounds like a really fun back yard with lots of room to do all sorts of things. I like the pictures of your dogs, too. Thank you for sharing it with us!

    It sounds like you have a veritable adventure park at your house. Yes and good to see the full dam- it willmake tree platning with your next door neighbour a bit easier!
