Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2007 4:09 pm Post subject: The view from my place
Maybe you would enjoy seeing what I see from my windows, porch, or somewhere on or near our place. We live half a mile from the next farms, and the counrty is rolling fields and pastures.
This first picture was taken from the porch on a stormy day just as the storm was about to hit. We were still in the sun but could see streaks of lightning in those black clouds. I thought the contrast was interesting. The flower bed is what I call the lasagna bed, it had been part of the pasture just a couple of years before. One fall I put down newspapers and cardboard, then piled on the sheep barn cleanings, waited until spring, dug holes and planted things. Most of it grew!
An early winter sunrise, picture taken from just outside my kitchen window while I was in bathrobe and slippers trying to hold still enough to get the picture before the light changed. Brrrr.
Looking toward the northwest at smoke from a forest fire that was about 20 miles away. This picture was taken from our front porch which faces north and has the best breeze every evening!
This view of our place was taken from our west fenceline. The pond is ours, house is on the right, then the red building is my hubby's shop with attached woodshed. We have added a greenhouse in the space between buildings. My garden is down the hill to the left. The small building is a former chicken house that is now a shed for the horses to use if they choose. The first horse that used it was one we called Moose, so we have always called the building the Moose Lodge.
Ok, now you have seen the long shot, so here is a closer view where you can see more detail. The cattle belong to our neighbor, the horses are ours, or more accurately, mine, since my hubby doesn't claim to own them.
