Fun in the neighbors backyard

We've got some pretty good across-the-street neighbors. They are an older couple from Hungary. They have been here for 50 years, but still have thick accents. Let me tell you, I've never seen anyone work in their yard as much as Lewis & Sofia do. Lewis probably mows his grass 4 times a week & their backyard is like Heaven. We've lived here for almost 8 years & had never seen their backyard till this weekend. When the kids & I walked back there, it was like "awwwwwww...is this...Heaven? Where am I?"

And then I think, "they must think that Nate & I are a bunch of lazy as*#&." Here we are, probably 40 years younger than them & our yard looks like a jungle. We have dead flowers and weeds growing every which way. It's pathetic. But their yard, oh, their yard...it's beautiful! The back had flowers everywhere! And a vegetable garden! The kids helped Sofia pick veggies & Lewis played with them & gave them rakes & brooms to help with yard work. It was so fun!
