Long overdue pictures of our new house

Way back at the beginning of this Blog, I said I'd post some pictures of our new house when it was finished.  We moved in on July 19, 2010, finishing up about an hour before our daughter and her family arrived from Nebraska to spend a week with us.  We didn't finish moving everything from the farm house until November 19, 2010, our due date to be out. Moving after living there for 40 years (and Ken living there his whole life) was quite a task.  "STUFF" - what do you do with it all?  My advice to anyone reading this is, don't collect it to begin with.  I still have my library/office to sort through and organize.  That means tons of books and files and magazines and hobby things.  Once that is done, I can tackle our cold storage room which, for now, is packed full of "STUFF."  I think I feel a YARD SALE coming in the Spring!

I've preached a few Reflections (a.k.a. sermons) on "Stuff."  Such wise advice!  You'd think I would have listened.

Anyway, here some pictures.

This is the back of our house, viewed from up on the hill toward what was our back pasture.  It shows the upper and lower pond.  The smaller upper pond flows into the large one over a rock waterfall.

 This is the front view of our house from Borland Road.

 The rock wall along our driveway.  The lower large pond is to the left.

That's all for now.  I will have to take some snow scenes since this has been a very snowing winter these past few weeks.  Right now I am not so sure I want to wade or try to wade on snowshoes up the hill to get another picture.  Later.
