dooryard

If we find him there as Rutter said, you can gamble that trouble has camped in our dooryard for a lengthy stay.

The dooryard was covered with a heavy sod and the ancient flower beds had run wild with weeds.

But Brindle tarried behind and foraged for her supper by nibbling the grass from the overgrown dooryard.

In what once had been the dooryard there were a few straggling clumps of bushes, and thistles and burdocks grew in rank profusion.

Then came the German irises, like soldiers on parade, around the pool, and the bright lemon lilies in the shady dooryard.
