Weekend in Black and White ~ 4-29-11

Our Front Field at Sundown
-just shy of an acre
-very rocky and uneven

its uses:
-the location of our septic system
-a “victory garden” when our the children were still at home
 (fyi...the only way to water it -use a gas pump & pump water to it from the creek)
- a 3-family “victory garden” for 2 years
-a parking lot when we had old time music gatherings
-a place to put the volleyball net for fearsome competitions
-a walking field for me, but only out around the perimeter
-a hay field for a neighbor to use yielding about six bales and two cuttings
-a tomato garden behind the tree on the right, sometimes
-a fabulous spot to fly kites
-a job for a friend - we now pay him to keep it mowed...it take a heavy duty mower
-a favorite spot for the deer to run about

    I love this photo. I just wish it was outside my back door. Fabulous texture on that shot...very nice. Are you going to frame it and put it on the wall? You must, you must!

    I like all the uses of the field...especially nice to think of the hayfield and the kites.
