Spring Vistas

We began our spring cleaning today. After dinner, we enjoyed a refreshing drink out on the front porch and marveled at how fast the landscape has changed in the past couple of weeks. The late afternoon light and sky were so pretty. I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures of our landscape to share with you.

  8. Thank you, Doreen! This place is incredibly lovely during the spring. It is hard to believe that it was all just plain pasture 16 years ago when we bought the land!
