This morning's view

@Heidi68 A photographer as well! What else can you do?

@AstralSmoke I have a million hobbies. Too bad I couldn't turn one into my dream job....

@Heidi68 What is/was your dream job?

@Heidi68 You should combine the two. Traveling and photography go hand in hand.

@Heidi68 our passions keep us SHARP for our other tasks;
You indeed sound multi- TALENTED✌

@AstralSmoke if I had been smart I would have done that when I was young. Now I worry about retirement & health insurance..... so I hope to be able to travel a little here & there - then just share my photos with my friends

@BBJong Thank you. Not sure how talented but certainly have tons of passions/hobbies

10.5 total acres. ~7 are woods.

@Heidi68 Wow, a wonderland!

@AstralSmoke I like it. I have fox, deer, raccoon, skunk & an opossum who likes to visit for snacks.
Pictures - my woods, a cool tree, neat stuff, my neighbors cows & my view.

@Heidi68 It looks similar to where I grew up, except we had dairy farmers. It looks like a beautiful place to live.

@AstralSmoke it is a beautiful place to live (for now). Where did you grow up?

@Heidi68 I grew up in Blount County, TN in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. It was a great place to grow up, but not a great place to be a teenager (too boring).

How long have you lived where you are now?

@AstralSmoke I moved here in Nov. 2015. OK 2010 to 2015. VA 2003 to 2010 (with a few month in Texas in 2008/2009). WA 2001 - 2003. CA 1997 - 2001. NC 1994 - 1997 (with 2 winters in CO). CA 1992 - 1994. NC birth to 1992 (minus a summer in Mass.).

@Heidi68 It sounds like you should have a good pulse of the US. I've visited most of those states.
Why did you move east to west and then back east and then back west with months in the middle?

@AstralSmoke a lot of the moves were because I married a military guy (NC/CA/WA/VA). The Texas move was suppose to be for longer but the job I went down there for told me I was going to get paid 'x' and then tried to pay me less than 1/2.... CO was purely skiing & hiking (skied in winter, managed a restaurant on the beach in NC in the summers).
My dad use to call Mr his little gypsy.

It is going to 55° next week / I think I am near your latitude.
We had 2 foot of snow last year- 5centimeters this year.
Ah well

@BBJong the weather people said last night by Wednesday we will be mid 60s....
@Fernapple - I am a bit worried also. This is the 1st dusting we have had. Last year, we had 1 storm in Dec of 15" and then a couple small storms (1" or two).
