Compared to the postage stamp size yard we had in Oak Park, our new one is humongous! It's almost like living in a forest, for us, filled with little gems. We have giant trees (and we thought raking was bad before....), a huge granite rock below the ground, tree roots, moss, ferns, tons of birch trees. Which are changing by the way. Fall is here! We even have a Japanese stone sculpture and lantern. Not sure who left those behind (the architect, long-time owner, or the people we bought the house from), but they are perfect. We love it.
