Backyard in Baltimore, circa 1981 or 1982
My father emailed me this photo of the backyard of the house in Baltimore where I grew up. He thinks it's from 1981 or '82, but it looks pretty much the same as it did when we moved out in 1994.
My dad is a stonemason, and he cut and arranged the bricks and stones by hand (and chisel, of course). It looks pretty cool from above, particularly the way the grass lines up symmetrically with the brick walkway and patio.
I wish I still had that Big Wheel.
