WOW, we have 80 acres mostly in pasture for the cows. About 5 is for house, garden, shop and mobile. Both of our closest neighbors are 1/4 mile away (one is my son, DIL and grandson). There is so much peace and solitude here I can't believe I'm only 15 minutes from town...

I want to rework the "back yard" cause it's mostly just pastureland. I want to turn it into something like some of your pictures here. What beautiful oasis' you all have! This is such a great site!

I live in the south and we're always fixin' to do something. (For those up north that would mean "going to do"... ;-) !) We're fixin' to make the vegetable beds a little bigger this year and we're fixin' to tear out the front walkway beds and move the roses to a circle bed in the front drive. There's so much stuff to get done, I'm tired already.

I've attached a picture of my "backyard" during the last ice storm. The first tree line is our back property line. We sit to the back of the acreage. It's a blank canvas right now...
