In the dial-up thread, I mentioned that I live so far out, its not an option! There was a couple requests for pictures, so I went out and played "nature photographer" and took some for you all.

My grandfather and grandmother built this place about 36 years ago, all on their own. They named it Landofour, because at the time, it was the four of them, their selves and their two children, my mother and uncle.

Now, the place is overgrown like crazy (beautifully in my opinion!) because up until last year, it was just my grandmother, and of course she can't go out and do the work. We're slowly but surely beating back the overgrowth though!

This is the end of the mile long lane leading into the property, and the gate. One interesting fact, it's misspelled! My grandfather named it "Landofour" and there's an "a" on the gate instead of the "o".



Here is the front of the house, as seen from just inside the gate.



A little further on, starting to turn the corner to the side of the house.



Here is the side of the house, where we go in and out most of the time. The silver building is the office my grandfather built when I was very little, so he could work from home.



Here, we're standing on the side porch, looking back towards the gate, over the ivy garden my grandmother enjoys.



Here we are still standing on the porch, looking out at the side yard and the red barn. It's very old, and has a few holes, but it looks lovely and nostalgic.



Here we've gone onto the back porch and are looking out into the backyard, which goes all the way to the pond.



These two pictures, we've gone down the pathway which leads to the pond. Very peaceful. I wasn't able to get any pictures of the pond itself sadly, but its pretty ugly during the summer anyways!





Just some pretty flowers I found.



We're on our way out now, heading towards the gate.



This is the inside of the gate, leading out to the lane, and the mailbox at the end. I tell you, its darn good exercise to get the mail everyday.




I really hope you enjoyed. Living out here is worth not having dial-up, especially with no neighbors! Nothing like going out early in the morning to feed the animals and watch the birds.
