Sunrise at the new farm

[George McGovern]

8. Hi lark! Correct. As long as I'm careful to see the forest for the trees we'll be okay.

But seriously that's a great question. Thank You for your reply.

I grew up in north-central CT surrounded by trees. Hiked in New England landscapes trees most everywhere began to be confined. Laurie came of age in the LA area no trees.

She longed for a tree-scape. I felt fresh as a daisy wide opened, free.
Coincidently Laurie began planting seedlings around much of our thirteen acres; trees grew up with us as years passed. Which was fine with me.
I mostly miss the bird's-eye view but too peace and quiet. Often geese flew low enough to hear their wings flapping, honking notwithstanding.
We were twenty miles from town. Laurie shopped groceries accordingly

Here we're on nine acres. Much more manageable; however, we are also about one mile from town and one half mile from a major U.S. highway, US 395, which runs from the North Coast of Callifornia to the Canada–US border where it meets British Columbia Highway 395. More, we are minutes from Deer Park Municipal Airport.

Suffice to say it's noisier here than our former farm.

All in all lark everything is working out nicely. Beneficially, we live at most five minutes from town instead of twenty. One evening Laurie needed an ingredient for dinner. Whereas in Ellensburg she'd have made do without, here she made it to the grocery store and back in ten minutes. Even more there is very good take-out pizza in Deer Park!

I hope all in your life is as well as can be.
