There is a big garden behind our house. It has a lot of space, so we play there often with my sister Sarah and our dog Flash. We even have a small swimming pool, so I can spend the whole summer swimming if it is warm enough. My dad always listens to the radio when we do that. It is just a shame that we do not have a sandpit (piaskownica) as well. In the back of the garden is a tall tree, under which I usually sit and read my books. Every time I do that, my mum brings snacks to eat: ham toast and black tea. It’s very nice of her. My mum grows some tomatoes and peppers by the fence (płot). In front of the house, she also grows beautiful red roses. There are five bushes (krzewy) of them. It’s really nice to have a garden because we can spend a lot of time outside in the fresh air (świeże powietrze).
