Fran, you've got so much room!!! I'm jealous! You've got a lovely place there!

Bump and Stella said to tell you "hello". They also wanted me to give you a good scratch, but I think that might be a bit much, don't you? Well, at least they were thinking of you, right?

Enjoy the new place! It's looks great!

It looks so peaceful, Fran!
I just love it out in the country. After spending the first 20 years of my life in the sticks, and living for 8 in the city...then the last few back in the country.... I don't know how I EVER survived in the city! With neighbors so close, I could smell their supper! LOL!

Enjoy your new yard!! :O)

Fran, it's just wonderful! You're like an artist with a new canvas in front of you. What a wonderful opportunity!
Also, the house reminds me of my grandmothers. I know exactly how the rain will sound on that tin roof and there's nothing else in the world like it! I'm so happy for you! Congrats!

Oh, I missed a sentence up there LOL, that is the bush/tree with the deck that we cut down. The SO was cutting it while I was taking pics. I had to get them taken before he cut down all the tree/shrubs in pic #2 because I wanted before and after pics.

In pic #10 if you look in the background at the bottom of the hill you can see one of the neighbors houses, this is the one I want to block the view from. I am planning on planting some fast growing trees in a line.

In pic #9 on the right side of the pic is my holding flowerbed we put in too, I am using it as a nursey bed for young plants.

I didn't take a pic of my WS containers LOL.

Dan, tell the kids I said thanks for thinking about me, but I think we will leave the scratching and rubbing to lavish on them! LOL.

Bunny, I am a country girl through and through, I can't stand the thought of living in the city although we did consider it but only for a minute. I like being in the country and NOT seeing my neighbors everytime I go outside. At the other house the trailer park folk would pull up chairs to watch us that I think that is 1. RUDE and 2. CREEPY, WHO does that?

Joan, I am so totally pleased to be here. It is a small country house and it could use some work but I am tickled to finally have a place that I am surrounded by nature and not homes. We even have a nice size front porch to sit out on when we get it cleaned off LOL. It is so peaceful here, with the exception of the little &^*&^* that run up and down the main dirtroad on the trail bikes and 4 wheelers but if I had one I would be too! hehe.

I am just so pleased to be here. A lot of folks wanted to see the place and this thread was the easiest way for me to share.

In the front yard where that little ridge is, we are putting a flowerbed in there too, to make it more level. Can't understand WHY someone would make a cut out section in the front yard but someone did! Crazy is all I can say.

Ok, well, thanks for the comments. Have a great night.

Fran, it's just absolutely wonderful! I don't blame you for holding out for the country. The most wonderful part is that most of the land is already cleared of trees and brush for you. So it's just waiting to become whatever you want to make of it. Don't you just love opportunities?
Sleep tight and dream about what all that land will become. :)

Fran, it looks like you have lots of room to work with. My immediate thought....pumpkins! I'm so jealous of green grass and blue sky and budding trees. We're having a nice day today, but it snowed two days this week ~sigh~

Looks like a great yard to "play in the dirt."

Oh my goodness what a lot of garden space you have to work with! My mind would be racing on what to plan for where! Do keep us posted with pics of your progressing gardens.

Here here...to what everyone else has said - I envy all that space and rural backdrop. While your cleaning out you can be waiting for that vision to come to you and start all your planning.
