Our House

The big tree to the right was damaged by a thunderstorm earlier this summer. 70 mph winds snapped a major branch off of one side. The damage was bad enough that we may end up having remove the entire tree.






It takes us almost 2 hours to mow the fenced back yard, the back yard beyond the fence, and the the front and side yards. We haven't had a lot of rain lately, so the grass isn't as green as it usually is and most of the flowers have wilted. We are too cheap to water them!

We spend a lot of time outside sitting on the deck when the weather is nice. We added some outdoor lights that come on automatically when the sun goes down.


View of the side of our backyard where the garden is usually planted. We did not have much of a garden this summer with Kathy being sick. We have only have one tomato plant and some onions. However, on the opposite side of our house where we have our flower garden, some stray seeds took root and we actually have some squash and pumkins growing among the flowers!

I really do just love your house so much. I wish they would make beautiful houses like that out here...well, beautiful houses that are affordable at least. :)

Indiana is just so green and pretty. Thank you for posting pictures of where you live!
