Backyard Swagger

April 27, 2015 By Talya Tate Boerner 9 Comments

you can ride in my little red wagon

Heck yeah! You can ride in my little red wagon. Jump in. Come along. Step into our backyard swagger. Things are looking mighty fine. At least I think so.

So do the dogs.

Guess what? That’s some dog swagger right there.

Check out our giant hostas. Each leaf is way bigger than my Luccheses🙂

and our water feature (ooh, ah, ooh, ah).

and our Big Red Classic…

Backyard Swagger

In case you aren’t a country music fan, (wha?), I cannot get Miranda Lambert’s Little Red Wagon song off my mind. You know how a song gets stuck for days playing over and over and over?? Yeah, that.

Some folks say the song is too silly for a serious country artist. I say lighten up and have some fun. Life’s way too short not to swagger along with her.
