Pull up a chair on the back porch swing. From here, you can watch Whisper the Oak, listen to the meadow hum, and join Russ and Max for comforting bedtime tales.
Meet Russ the Storyteller
Hello there little ones. I’m Russ the Storyteller, and this is my favorite place to share stories—right here on the old bench swing on my cottage’s back porch. From here, I can see the whole backyard, but most importantly, I can see Whisper the Story Keeper.
She’s a Great Oak—tall and wise, with bark like braided rope and a hollow about ten feet up her trunk. The squirrels leave notes there, and sometimes the wind tucks away its secrets. Her branches stretch wide like arms that remember every tale ever told beneath them. I believe God planted her here to remind us that stories—like roots—grow deeper when they’re shared in love.
Support & Giving
My-Backyard.org is a living tribute—built to comfort, inspire, and honor the stories that shape us. Everything here is free, thanks to generous hearts and the legacy of those we cherish (including little Dakota and her father Danny).
By supporting us directly or giving to one of the charities we honor, you help keep this garden growing. Your gift becomes a seed of kindness, faith, and storytelling for families everywhere.
