Outside Pictures

We finally had a decent beginning to the day so I was able to walk around while the guys were working and snap some pictures of the outside.
 Here I am walking around the house on the driveway so I can show you the different vantage points. The picture below is me standing at the end of our driveway looking east out at the road. This is a private road you must drive down to reach our house.

 Then when I turn 180 degrees and face west, you can see our oval driveway.

 Walking a few steps forward and turning left (south) you can see our side yard (and well cover). The metal fence to the left is our neighbor's driveway.

 A few more steps forward and still looking to the south you can see more of the house.

 Keep moving west and we get to our "shop" - it has a dirt floor and holds most of our gardening supplies. The blue line on the ground is where we want to remove grass and add gravel. It's pretty soupy when it gets wet and we would like to put in gravel to help us walk around without getting too muddy.

 Continuing around the corner is the barn. This one has a concrete floor.

 And finally full circle to the house. The window on the far right is Liam's room, then Pippa's room, then the living room on the far left.

  Walking a bit past the house and showing a different view.

Standing by the barn/chicken area and looking at the side of the house.

 Most of the back of the house. Our bedroom is to the far right (not pictured). Then the three decks from the dining room and mud room.

 Turning to the south shows a small garden plot. It was already there so I'm going to use it this year while we determine the best place to garden next year. Dad, Liam and Dan are trying out the new chainsaw and cutting a few trees before our big work day.

 Dad took this picture from his phone and I liked it. A few weeks ago walking down to the creek, this bridge crosses a little stream. We need to rebuild/reinforce it but it will be a fun summer project.

There you go! I hope it gives you a good idea of the upper part of our property - where we mostly live. I will take pictures inside very soon.
