1007. Through the Mud

Two-by-fours
laid down for a sidewalk...
new home.

Link with 1006: Makeshift.

[Usually when you have a new house built the landscaping is either not done or it is minimal. This is especially true in the back yard. With our first home the builder provided nothing in the backyard. That first Spring all we had was a path through the mud at the back that was made from spare scraps of lumber and broken sidewalk blocks.]

rhubarb and wild strawberries

That's the way it was for my first wife (now deceased) and me, back in 1964. Thanks for the memory!

This reminds me of a house being built as a child. Love the image...I can hear the boards sticking in the mud.
