Just Because

Just Because I've reached the age of my country road speed limit I've determined I need a place to reflect on life, share my opinions, questions, and other observations. I've made this simple spot to jot down random observations that bounce around in my head. So, here's my blog written "just because" I can!

You might ask "What about the title Seventeen Acres?" My husband and I live on 17 wooded acres filled with too many brambles, deer gangs, marauding squirrels, the occasional skunk (or possum or raccoon or woodchuck or coyote) and countless birds. Must not forget the occasional snapping turtle crossing our yard to get to the lake across the way or the green tree frogs who hang on the side of our house under the mercury vapor light during humid summer nights. Inside we share our our modest farmhouse (built in 1883) with 3 dogs and two cats and the occasional field mouse who's trying to stay warm during the frigid winter months.

Sometime remind me to tell you about the interesting luck we had with the century old barn a month after moving here one December during the heaviest snowfall in years. It was a sign of things to come...
