Our backyard.

We have a spacious, walled-off backyard at our home in the city of Carbonia. With no access. Because of the high walls that surround the yard. Fortunately, we are on the second floor of our four-story building. So we have a good view from the kitchen balcony. Looking down and east. We watch the sunrise while eating breakfast. Sun glistening  off the orange-tile roofs of our neighbors. Most of whom live at ground level in rustic single family dwellings. Our building has eight tenants. All of whom own their places. As for the backyard, I’m unaware of any plans for it. Other than to remain vacant. With several  trees. And lots of brush.  A yard big enough to contain two American-size football fields.  Some day I’m gonna climb the wall, and jog around the perimeter. Just for the heck of it.  The walls are ready-made for a prison. Come to think of it. That’s another potential use.  –Jim Broede
