Yards, the grassy areas (usually) of land around  houses in the United States,  are used for a variety of activities.  Some people take pride in having the neatest, cleanest, most weed-free yard in the block, making their yards a place for work and effort.  Other people use their yards as a place for fun and entertainment by putting swing sets, sliding boards, sand boxes, patios and maybe swimming pools in them.  For still other people, a yard is mainly an area around their house for storing things they don"t know where else to put: boats, old cars, bicycles, wagons, broken appliances, and so on.  Most people, however, are somewhere between these examples.  They mow their grass and do some trimming, but do not get upset if the yard is not always perfectly neat.  Their children play in the yard sometimes and may have some play equipment, but are just as likely to go to a friend"s house or to the park to play.   There may be an  bicycle with a flat tire leaning against the garage along with an old car tire and a couple of rusty  buckets, but they are out of the way so it doesn"t look too bad.
