where i live

Yen, your backyard is amazingly clean! It looks like you just moved in because there's nothing there. I'd have all kinds of stuff leaning against my fence and walls.

It has been 3 yrs since i moved in, we have plants on another side of the backyard (not shown on the pic) and leave another side of it flat so i can hang out playing some games with my family during Summer

Here's my front yard today Sunday, temp is 9 ~ and wind chill -19 below zero with 60 mile per hr winds and it is snowing sideways, the lake is thawed for some reason and if u look close you can see the ducks playing in it. NUTS, they are

We will never see that here in Southern Texas Becky close to 80F here in Houston yesterday!! but to be honest seen enough of snow during my college years in Montana. that lake could be good for ice fishing up there during winter

Dang Yen, makes me feel better as a mexican... <_< Pretty harsh huh?

Man, my house is hiding in shame! run pictures, run away so i dont post you!

Frankie, I apologize if i offense you in anyway using amigos. I have to say Houston development owed very much to the Hispanic community here. Although there are lot of illegal immigrant here, they are the hard working bunch and contribute the most to the recent development in this region.

I don't know why people say the UK is not so full of wildlife at this time of year. I found a mealworm beetle and a corn snake today. They were in my house but it's a start.

Thanks MJ! No kidding!! All the flowering plants were remove before winter set in. We should have more plants when it gets warm again, and the best part is we have lot of mexican gardener to do the work for a good price

and yours look like a nice getaway hilltop resort home!!!

I don't set the sprinkle system on at all during winter months so they hardly grow. HOwever, we still have the Amigos do the weeding bi-weekly so it looks like carpet it is easy to manage when your backyard is small, compare to acres and acres of land you have there Becky, this is easy job!! for the amigos though
