Our yard is actually really large for an in town lot. The house is close to 40 years old so we ended up really lucky with a large lot size. The newer housing never has large lots. Since we are outdoorsy types, the yard was the biggest attraction to us when we were looking to buy a house. I hardly go out front since there is a pretty busy road that runs close to the house, though the house itself is actually on a dead end frontage type road, but the major roadway is right across the ditch from that.

I actually took this awhile back when a storm was moving in during the evening and it looked really weird outside, all yellowish (even though there was no sun). This is taken from the front porch so you can see what I mean, there is a gas station/convenience store right across the street. It took me awhile to get used to living so close to a busy road but it's not too bad, it's not a major highway, and the back yard makes up for it.



Anyway it looks weird cause the storm that was moving in. The truck is an old 78 Dodge my hubby bought for $300 to haul with for all his yard projects.

Thanks all. I'm really a chatterbox this afternoon.
