A new season of bocce ball


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!

In answer to some of you questions....you can go here and here to read about bocce ball but the way we play is on grass in our backyard and it is a lot of fun because many (up to 8) can play at the same time....my husband was a very good husband and made me a portable, put awayable bocce ball court ( and it is regulation)out of PVC (plumbing )pipes...we actually play this a lot as it requires little skill in order to have fun. And since our yard to not perfectly flat....we have a great time....in this photo the question is which color ball is closer to the pallino (thanks Fenix!)? Sometimes it requires a drink or two to discuss it.....
