Here is my
favorite place in the whole wide world... The hammock! I can lie here
all day listening to the birds in the trees, watching the fence lizards
sun themselves on the firewood pile, and looking for shapes in the
clouds. My wife Lillian is sitting on the picnic table and my daughter
Catherine is monopolizing the hammock in this picture..
This is a
view of the shed from the "driveway". We spent a lot of time clearing
the trees and a couple of months later the stumps are already sprouting
new leaves. Mother Nature is sure persistent...
Here's the
shed and hammock from another angle. The stumps are re-sprouting over
and over again even though I keep cutting them. Life seems to always
find a way to survive....
This is
the shed from the front showing our Amish good luck "hex" sign.
Here's the
"information dirt road" that runs by the front of our land. The state
saw fit to "pave" it last year. Didn't make me too happy since
"civilization" is creeping up on us. Now they've just buried "coax"
cable down the side of the road. Can 200 channels of home shopping
network be far off????
This is
the beginnings of our driveway. 17 tons of stone showed up in a big pile
one day and I spent the next several weeks spreading it along the new
driveway with nothing more than an iron rake, a shovel, and my trusty,
rusty old Craftsman lawn tractor. Who needs a gym when all that stone
needs shoveling. 150 feet done and only 1850 more to go.
These are pictures of Chris on our land with his
bulldog Ramius a.k.a. "The Meatball"...
