Today, ladies and gentlemen, we will be taking the "Tour de Clyda." But instead of 21 stages, like the "Tour de France", there are only 5. So please enjoy our tour. (For your own safety, do not touch, or you might suffer the wrath! kidding!!)
Alright people, please allow me to show you our first attraction: The Garden. In my mom's lovely garden we have growing: peas, potatoes, broccoli, lettuce, carrots, corn, raspberries, and strawberries. It will be very yummy when we harvest it and eat it! Take your time looking, but please do not damage the hardware.
Ok, our next stage in the "Tour de Clyda" is: The Greenhouse! This is where all the flowers start and where all the tomatoes end. Also, please notice the beautiful flowers all around. Mom works hard to keep them alive and beautiful. We don't have an "in greenhouse tour," but you can sorta' see how big the tomatoes are inside. Alright, moving on quickly...
To: The Backyard. Our backyard is beautiful here on the "Tour de Clyda." The back flower bed is arranged spectacularly with all colors and varieties. The lawn is always green and the sunflowers are TALL! 
Now we will turn to our right and go to the side lawn. Please follow me. First we have this cute little island with our pig and cow. This bed is pretty much filled with the same things every year. It is sporadic but I love it. 
This next attraction is my very favorite. Honestly I think it is the best looking part of our whole yard. It is the side yard. The flower bed receives extra care. Extra dead heading and water. Please notice as we pass, the rocks behind the flowers. A nice addition to the tour, don't you think? Also, I think the boys would appreciate it if you took notice of the GREAT siding job they did. That is the side yard.
I will now highlight the flower that I especially like here on the tour. I don't know the name of it, but I wish it was fake so I could give all of you one as a souvenir. It is showcased in the side flower bed (last stage).
O.K. you think that our tour is over? Well, it kind of is. To see the main, BEST, part of the tour you have to experience it for yourself. We haven't found out how to capture the beauty of it all yet. This stage would be the love and fun we have together as a family at our own home. When we are together, you can't pass that up. Whether we're working together, eating together, or playing together, you can feel the love. That is the most Wonderful part of the tour.

Tessa!! I loved this post! That was so creative and very candid...you are hilarious! I love the pictures. It really makes me miss home, though. You're definately right about the stuff you can't capture...the love, the fun, all the best stuff. Love you bunches!
That side yard flowerbed is out of control! Someday, maybe I can try to mimic that. Beautiful!
Great post Tessa! It is beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
