Leah I think your area is more boonies than mine, although we are closer to the mountains up in the foothills. I was really into your area! That body of water is is the Howard Hanson Res. up behind us into the Snoqualmie National Forest. When we first moved to MV the postal carrier brought an order form for stamps and supplies to our door. Now that felt rural!
Well, I'm kind of on a flat, middle of farmland area. When we first bought our house, it had a pretty row of trees running through the yard. I have since learned that they were mostly big old scrub trees, that fall at any big winds! We do have a lot of bonfires after we clean up the wood, though! And we have enough space that they tend to fall, and don't damage anything.
Well, I think that's quite nice! I like that kind of boonies. Do you have coyotes out there? I wouldn't think so. It must be nice to have your kitties out at night with no real worries!Originally Posted by Beckiboo
I do find it very peaceful to sit out in the yard, shaded by the trees that are still standing. Even on the hottest summer day, we can catch a small breeze. And I have my outside cats running about and they don't bother anyone. Our neighbors aren't animal lovers, but they know the value of a good mouser, and certainly leave the cats alone!
Actually, we do have coyotes here. The neighbor (dairy farm) say they have lost cats to the coyotes. But our adopted ferals are true ferals, they seem to be wise to the wild critters. And we do have an outside male dog, so he marks the area, and barks if he sees anything amiss. And our house dog is in and out. And we have horses. Somehow, we never see coyotes up close.
... you sound wonderful. Can I come over and live there
