.What is my backyard to me?
...the place where I work with my hands more and less with my mind digging, sowing seeds and watching things grow.
...the place where I can express myself creatively and colourfuly by planting blooms.
....the place where I can build a green wall---- without using hammer and nails
...the place where I can be a designer of living and green things
....the place where I show and display by love for the environment by recycling--in this instance constructions materials which otherwise could have ended in the tip
...the place where I can be a practicing permaculturist
....the place where I could make curves without using protractor or pens
....the place where I can watch the interplay of many factors leading to decomposition and enrichment of soil
...the place where I could work not necessarily to the letter, but with more flexibility, and the place where I could combine colours without using a palette
...the place where tomatoes grow from green to red with a lot of help from the sun and the rain
What is my backyard to me? There are more to it than I could articulate...it is a place where heaps of biological phenomena and great and trivial events take place...some incomprehensible to my biological mind, few others comprehensible and enjoyable even to the innocent and simple mind.
but most of all, my backyard is a place where I can commune with my Creator without any disturbance then sit down under the sun---smile, relax, sip my coffee and eat Australia's yummiest biscuit called Tim Tam.
