Yes. I will have to share some pictures when I can get to it. Let's just say our "yard" takes about 7-8 hours to mow with a commercial zero-turn mower. I love having all the space to ramble, and there are plenty of natural prairie/unmowed spots as well for exploring. And starting this year we are hiring someone else to do the mowing for us. YAY!

We have a pretty decent sized backyard for our neighborhood. Hoping some day to dedicate one corner to the kids by having a swingset under the tree and dedicate the other corner to a small garden. Gotta fix the fence first! We've been going out to play just about every day that the weathers been warm enough to give Henry some exercise and me a break - DH chases him for me!

Yes and no. We do have a backyard, but there's a pool back there. We really didn't want to purchase a home with a pool, but due to time constraints, we did. I don't mind the pool, but would much rather have grass than a pool.

We have a backyard, but it's on a slope. We'd like to fence in part of our side yard since it's flat and would be a great place for kids to roam.

Yes, decent sized with a 6' fence. Mosquito-ey in the summer for sure, but we do have a service come spray it, which helps a lot.

We have a backyard-- it's one of my favorite things about our house (especially since we rent and gardeners are included in our rent)! We just set out our patio furniture and hammock last weekend, so I'm looking forward to some quality naps there this summer.

Yes, we have a small one. It's pretty pathetic right now. Our dog ruined it.

We have a small backyard, but that's by design. DH is always working and doesn't have time to keep up with yardwork. We pay someone to take care of it. There's a great park less than a block from our house and tons of running trails in our neighborhood.

We will in our new house, but we're so use to not having one. We're not sure what we will do with it.

Yes. We are on about 1/3 acre at the end of a cul-de-sac so our backyard is very large. We have two active dogs so it is a necessity. We are outside every day as all DS wants to do is be outside. Sometimes it is the front yard and playing in the garage, sometimes it is in the backyard swinging, playing with the dogs, etc.

Yes, we actually bought our house for the yard, not the house. The house is ok, the yard is huge and you can't find spacious lots very easy out here. We love our backyard and have put a lot of work into it!
