Living on the Edge


WELL-HOUSE THROUGH THE SEASONS

I've mentioned to you several times that I live on the
edge of a national forest...way out in the country.

Recently, I came across some pictures
from when we bought our little farm six years ago. 
They might just give you a better understanding of how far out
 in the country we really are.

I've detailed where things are located, to help put areas
of the farm—shown in earlier posts—in their proper perspective.


The image above is an aerial view shot while flying
from the back of the property toward the front.


And this is a shot from front to back.

We dismantled a hundred-year-old barn from a
neighboring farm and reconstructed another barn and
chicken coop from the old wood—as indicated.

So...
does this help put things in perspective?   ; )

  11. I guess you don't have to worry about neighbors ( the human kind ) dropping by unannounced!

    You have a georgeous property that looks lovely in every season.
