Most of the time, though, my horse does the lawn cutting- eco-friendly and quiet. Abandoned houses are always fascinating -always make us wonder about their history. As kids, we used to play in an abandoned house -slightly scary and most mysterious.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816796977553847916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935972991055021060.post-65476152038185828262012-04-30T07:42:10.745-07:002012-04-30T07:42:10.745-07:00Every time we come to visit you I look forward to ...Every time we come to visit you I look forward to exactly that view as we approach your home from one of our little toodling drives or another. As my family is from Montreal I spent many an idyllic summer in those ancient mountains and they were among the happiest days of my life. That "Big Sky" view of them from across the miles of open farmland always brings me peace.Grumpy Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043194716533923042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935972991055021060.post-24316784099202550062012-04-30T04:22:29.296-07:002012-04-30T04:22:29.296-07:00Great post.

Faithful mower.<br />I loved the empty old houses in that area too. I took a bunch of photos of them too, before we moved away years ago.Jennifer Pearson Vanierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031380418621391089noreply@blogger.com
