Fenced

We had been thinking of tearing down the fence in our backyard as it was a) an eyesore and b) about to fall down. Luckily for our wallets it turns out the abutting neighbors actually own the fence and knocked it as an add-on to removing an ugly shed they had in their yard. (This family just moved in last August and inherited the 2 lovely features.

The good news is it is gone. The bad news is that a small part remains (the remaining piece is obviously not on their property, but lord knows who actually put it up) and there is a big mess remaining in the spaces that used to be hidden by fences.

That said, once we get it clean and de-poison ivy parts, it will be, effectively, about 2-3 more feet of yard for us along the back. Also nice, they have 2 boys, one 2 1/2 and one 3 months, so I am sure there will be many playtimes to come now that we have easy access to their yard! Jack is already eying their basketball hoop.
