I will stop today's tour here and continue tomorrow's tour up the laneway which reveals my least favourite view of the farm.

I officially welcome visitors to this website on my home page, but I don't think I've ever given you a "virtual" welcome and keeping to my new blog goals, I'd like to pull back and welcome you to the farm. We live in an old farmhouse set back from the road on the top of a hill. The front pasture is to your left. It is lined on the one side by old railroad ties. Those railroad ties been there awhile now and sit on the slope of a hill. They are a pain to maintain as you can imagine. Anyway, let's head up the lane toward the house. Most of our property sits to the left of the laneway, however there is a strip of land approximately thirty feet wide on the right side and runs the length of our property. It wraps around the farmer's field at the base and continues on to an old graveyard. That parts not really ours but we mow it and keep it maintained as it is the only trail to the woods next door. As we drive up the laneway the house will come into better view. This is my favourite view of the house. The same view in winter. The bottom window on the left side of the chimney is where I took yesterday's photo. Here is the same shot but taken outside the window. You can see the driveway and the strip of land on the opposite side. If you pan to the rght, you will see my favourite view found anywhere on the property. The pasture has rolling hills and a valley that empties into a culvert at the bottom left corner beneath the fence line that drains into the swamp across the road. Yes, we live across the road from a swamp but it is more wetland like than swampy and very very pretty. The mosquitoes during summer, however, are not so pretty and I discuss their invasion in this post if you missed it.
I will stop today's tour here and continue tomorrow's tour up the laneway which reveals my least favourite view of the farm.
