What is National Backyard Day?
Our backyards have become our home away from home, our playgrounds, and an extension of our houses.. We celebrate National Backyard Day and all the ways we've improved the spaces and places we've named our oasis on March 19th. We love our backyards.
They are no longer just a little patch of land with some lawn chairs anymore. For those of us, they may barely be a porch or a concrete stamp. We convert them into Staycation Destination #1 as a result of the workweek. We've mastered square foot gardens, vertical gardening, pallet furniture, pallet furniture, the art of charcuterie, and massive lawn games. They've grown to our outdoor theaters, with movies projected onto large screens under an open sky and Adirondack seating.
We love nature in the evenings. The bees are still waiting for their nectar to be collected by the bees. Birds of every size and color are attracted to our bird feeders, as well as furry creatures. We look at the skies at night, tracking satellites and identifying constellations. With luck, we may get a meteor shower or two.
Our backyards provide quiet solitude, a satisfying break for reading and napping, as well as a place for gathering with friends and family.. To connect nature, to each other, and ourselves, we've returned to our backyards to connect nature, to each other, and ourselves.
