My view

This is what I get to see when I look out my living room window. This pic was obviously taken pre- or post-storm, and not when it was bright and sunny. I do really have a beautiful yard, thanks to my husband. I didn't always appreciate this. A couple years before we built our house, John borrowed his dad's Cat to begin digging our basement/foundation/whatever. Instead of beginning on our house, he decided he needed some "practice." The guy has "practiced" with it many times over the years already, by the way. So he "practiced" down at the end of the yard where it was swampy. Two years later we had a beautiful pond and no house. I was a little (acually, a lot) miffed! But now, we have a gorgeous view, and a 2-years-worth improved home design. I'm grateful. But don't tell John.
