Some Pics from the Homestead

Our first pics from here in the land of the eternal smoke. It finally cleared enough today to warrant an attempt to photograph the house and environs.

The first is Karren and I standing in the top of the pasture with Haystack Mt. behind us. Haystack tops out at 9033 ft. and we are at 4600 ft., so there is a good bit of difference! We live in Marsh Valley which has a small creek that runs through it. It has flowing water so there is no stagnant smell or bugs. This is a very popular area for livestock, horses and abundant wildlife. Sandhill cranes call it home for the summer - their sound is unique and bizarre. Our house faces Haystack on the rear and Old Tom Mt. is directly in front of the house. Old Tom is 8700 ft. and does not translate into a good photo because it is so close.
