Here is a different perspective of our backyard....you can see the Japanese Lilac in the corner....but this is our portable Bocce Ball court (made by my husband out of PVC pipes!).It is a great game for all ages...but if you do invest in a set....the heavier more expensive balls are really the only way to play. Target sells a plastic set but not one an adult would like to do and for those of you that asked...yes, it has rained a lot here-hence the lush looking lawn--- and no we don't use fertilizer(other than the dogs!) or weed killer on the acre of land we ourselves mow.....actually, it is nice to get on the tractor and just mow in peace and quiet!
hey neva
ReplyDeleteas i said before i love this japanese lilac! also your backyard other parts looks great to me...good thing that rain makes you garden wet ,now and than...

Sounds like an interesting game to me. The grass is so pretty and green. Ours is turning a brownish tint with our drought.
ReplyDeletecool!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful backyard, excellent.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place for family fun, after you've worked so hard to take good care of it. Super!
ReplyDeleteNever tried the bocce ball (but the "pétanque", of course)! Do you play it on grass?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to play cricket here.
ReplyDeleteI am so bad at bocce I really should be banned.
ReplyDeleteWhen "Louis" lived in Mandres-les-Roses, France there was always a group of men playing pétanque in a little park near the center of town.
ReplyDeleteWith that lush green yard, you've got a little park of your own!
"Louis" forgot to invite you to step right up to the Wheel of Life!
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen another one of your posts about the game.. I can imagine on a warm summer evening with friends this is a great way to pass the time.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Bocce Ball? I've never heard of it. Or maybe I have but I don't remember. Please enlighten me :)
ReplyDeleteCome over to Cheltenham to see some of Greece.
It might be cool but since I never played it, I guess I would need a teacher ...
