    Default Not photography - but pic of the yard; freshly mowed. :)

    I love this yard in the summer. Love it tons.

    You're looking at the barn - then sweeping around to the driveway just past the line of trees (Have 4 maples on each side of driveway). The path to the barn and the driveway are in-line in real life. The grass part on the right of the image is about 3/4 acre - there's about 130 yards from the street to the front of the barn. Can just make out part of the pond there on the left. Also the neighbor's barn as well to the far left. Behind the camera is about an acre and a half where the house and front yard sit. Each plot of land in my row of homes is 299ft wide by about 1/4 mile long.

    behind the barn is about 5 acres of brush, and about 120 evergreens, then about 2 more acres I loan to a local farmer.

    The pond in the middle of the pic belongs to my neighbor - haven't seen him fish it. My pond has no fish - but probably could. Gonna be sad when I sell this place.

    Nice!

    I love the country.....but I'm doing good just to be able to mow my humble little plot/yard.

    I'd never manage that job.....not even in my dreams.

    In fact - here's the mower -

    I got stuck to the right of the barn. Thankfully my TRED recovery boards won the day! They were $100/pair from SummitRacing - intended to help me while wheelin' my expedition. But - three times in the past two weeks they've helped un-stick the mower

    I dug out just a bit, placed the boards under the tires then hopped back in the chair. I had to rock it with my body (easy ladies...I know the thought of my body 'rockin' is something of a panty-dropper - you too, Noir) and bam! 20 seconds later and bob's your uncle.
