A House in the Country
Julie wanted a picture of the “double wide” on our “manicured” acres. Thanks to Steve and Google satellite photos, here it is:
Can you see it? That’s the highway at the bottom of the picture. You can see our road going up the hill in the top third of the photo. The white road beginning at the middle of the top of the picture is our driveway. Follow it down to the loop and our house is in the right side of the loop, which is a small road which goes around our outbuildings. Almost all the land visible in this photo belongs to us (and the bank, but not for much longer, and not counting the rent we have to pay the local protection racket so that other people’s children can have a “free” education).
Here’s a closer view (from an airplane):
You can’t quite see the chickens, but there’s Moby Pickle parked in front of the house. Poor Steve has to make a horrible commute every morning…from the house to the building in the center of the photo, where he has his second-floor office. The automatic weapons, the tripwires and the sirens are carefully hidden. 
And the neighborhood watch in our friendly country hamlet is rather effective: Steve says there should be signs saying, “Trespassers Will Be Eaten.”

As you can see by the top photo, our range of exploring is quite wide. The photo does not show the east side of our property, but quite often we go down there too. But since we’ve been having a mountain lion in the neighborhood, we’ve limited it to the backyard for a while.

We’ve seen signs at the ends of driveways in our area that read “Trespassers will be SHOT!” I don’t think they are being funny, either. (This is in the hills of TN!)
