What's a backyard?
This is actually the forward side yard at my folks, where I was this last weekend, plus the front yard of a neighbor plus the side yard of another neighbor.

Re: Oyster Bay
What class is Pearl? Looks like a 24 footer. The class that I liked best when I lived on the west coast was the folkboat.

My other back door ...
The door on the left is my back door, my front door opens onto the street crossing the one I am on. It has essentially the same view of the park diagonally across the road.
This looks from the park to the end of the street to better show one of the upper reaches of Narragansset Bay.

Re: My other back door ...
My mothers family (her father's side) had\has a lot of property on Conanicut Island and we spent many summers there (driving over the old Jamestown Bridge, now demolished). Still have some relatives there but no immediate ties (mom & dad sold their interest in grandads house to an uncle who has since passed away). Beavertail was the place to go on stormy days.
I also sailed my sailboat around the island - back when I owned a
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/505_%28dinghy%29
I had mine rigged to sail single handed with a telescoping tiller extension and the spinnaker pole in a launcher mounted on the boom. I could launch the spinnaker pole into position and then the spinnaker all from out on the wire. I did this on Narragansett Bay and promptly dumped just as an O'Day sailed by: they guffawed loudly and made comments about sailing a boat I could handle. A minute later I was righted, sailed out of the water in the cockpit (self bailing transom) and passed them as if they were standing still, with a roostertail off the rudder and a humming centerboard ... I didn't have time to guffaw back, there wasn't enough time. I rode that wind all the way to Mt Hope Bridge before sailing back to the "compound" -- glorious times.

What's the problem? A nice quiet day sail for 3 kindred souls?

Re: My most recent back door ...
Sounds like a great place to wander and meditate.

Borrowed Backyard
This is the backyard for my "halfway house" -- a place where I can sit outside and watch the birds at the feeders and enjoy some sunshine and the smells of spring.
This being spring the birds are in mating colors and fresh plumage and are looking their best, from goldfinches to bluejays to chickadees to sparrows etc etc etc. and we are past the spring poem:
Spring is sprung
the grass is rizz
I wonders where the birdies is ...
Enjoy
