backyard finds

There's a lot of work to be done around this place.
Example #1: 
I still have construction stairs braced on my front porch.
~It's been 5 years since I moved in.~
(I'll hold back more comments on THIS matter. I tend to go off on a tangent.)


And that's just one thing.
Let's not talk about mud sidewalks that have yet to hold concrete...or....
(oh! never mind!)


I DO love the other parts though.
Remember the "barrel of fun"?
The "birdhouse neighbors"?


And now I have these kinds of things popping up in every direction:

It's a good thing to keep your focus on the positive.

(As long as you don't fall in my mud walk~way.
Oh....and please be careful when you walk up those braced steps!)

Country Adaptation

I have been living "out in the country" for 4 years now.

And I am just beginning to adapt.

Wish I knew why it has been so difficult~

when there are moments and sights like these that surround me.

I don't think I am a "city-girl".....nor am I a "farm-girl".

Just what I am ~I am not too sure.

But upon reflection {along with that Grand old saying...

"Home is Where the Heart Is"}

....I'm glad I am here in this moment of time.

~There really is No Place Like Home.~
