You know that thing people say..."you don't know how good something is until it's gone!"... that kinda scenario. You know the one??

Well I'm feeling that more and more since moving out of home.
One thing I never appreciated enough, has definitely got to be my old backyard. My pappy's pride and joy.
Every weekend I remember him being out there slaving away on a Sunday. Moving bricks and flower pots. Meanwhile I sat inside stuck to my laptop or stuffing my face with food in front of the tv.
I'm quite certain we had a herb garden for at least a year before I even realized.

Now every time I go out to visit the folks I'm like a broken record "loving the garden paps!" "have you done something else to it?" "oooh a lemon tree! nice addition"
 
Sitting out on the porch on a sunny day with a beverage in hand is pure SERENITY. It sure beats the shit out of our cemented courtyard... we shall fill it with green leafy things soon enough.. maybe.. one day.
