Decisions, decisions...
Looks gorgeous....a real haven of peace nestled in the trees. They must give you a lot of protection from the prevailing winds whichever direction they come.....looks a very nice findOkay @ShowMeTwice , @charlie1465 , @bigbob2322 @AngeNZ and anyone else who commented.
Yesterday's "good morning" pic was taken on my way to Charlottesville, (pre-surgery appointments yesterday)
So as to clear up any confusion, this is my yard, my view:

^^^Still standing in the same spot, just raised the camera to share what I see... we are literally on a mountainside surrounded by thick trees.

^^^ More trees, plus the corner of the house.. lol

^^^ View out of the side of the covered (but open) front porch *to include one of the storage sheds on tthe property.. lol
View attachment 903051
^^^ view out my bedroom window, to include both storage sheds and the corner of the back of the house.. haha
View attachment 903053
^^^ View from the covered front porch, at the very bottom of the photo, that's the roof of my son's car, parked in front of the house (yes, we have to enable 4-wheel drive to climb the driveway to park) .. the bridge (which you may or may not see well on the left) going over the creek is part of our driveway, and the 2 buildings is the church house and their lunchroom, which used to be a schoolhouse back in the day...
The churches parking lot is our extended parking during get togethers, just has to be clear of cars come Sunday morning... lol
So, that's my house, and my view. We have neighbors, but we also have trees and mountainside.
My surgery is hard scheduled for Sept. 8th, no more potential eraser on that.
Good morning!

Now with my elderly parents moving in, it will probably be a long while before we get out there again, but I am anxious for them to be here. Oh well, at least I have lots of pictures and videos of our trips to enjoy.
Very nice.Okay @ShowMeTwice , @charlie1465 , @bigbob2322 @AngeNZ and anyone else who commented.

It doesn’t bother me the way I thought it would. IRL the gold isn’t brassy, so it doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb. The interior of the black one’s battery cap being silver bothers me more. Seriously considering painting it with some model paint
Not yet. As long as it’s under a 4, it’s just lots of rain and wind. Our house is a whopping 11 feet above sea level (that’s HUGE by NOLA standards), and we’ll have power no matter what (solar + battery bank, three way gas generator to back that up), larder is full... so, not much to panic about. It’s going to be a huge nuisance for a few days at worst if everything stays relatively static. And we won’t really know where it’s going until it almost gets here lol.
That hurricane forcaster modeling is the best picture of me after I am properly rocket fueled (coffee) in the morning.
......
). This one is totally awesome and a favorite of mine.Good afternoon EveryOne !!!
My hope for each of You, as always, is a great day.
Or as great as possible.
It's a squonkin' kind of Day...

The photo is from a fairly secluded, peopleless, park Carli and I were at earlier this morning. We ran around and played like goofy kids for a couple hours. Not a single care in the world. Great fun.
Good morning shinies
Here's our beach....again ten minutes drive from the house and such a good place to swim. The French keep it so tidy and if you get there early not a soul is there......

Ange I forgot to mention, you MUST keep your wick within the body of the coil area. Opening/closing of the juice flow control is achieved by the turning the drip tip, which (by pressure against the inner chimney) turns the slot for the juice opening, which means you also have to remove the drip tip to refill.
I totally agree with you. I've taken a liking to the gold and silver look. And my Mixx's no longer have a gold complex.
Old cemeteries are lovely places to hang out in.@Opinionated, thanks for sharing your photos. I loved them.
Your place looks awesome and I know mountain air is too.
And thanks everyone who shared their slices of Life. I loved them all.
Seeing as we're doing this porch thing.

That's my view heading east. Yes, I need to trim my bushes.
After Carli and I left the park earlier we went to one of the oldest cemeteries in Milwaukee. It's huge and is about two city blocks from my home. We go there a few times a week to just "Be" for a couple hours. And no, I don't know anyone that is buried there!
View attachment 903095
After we get into the center of the place there is this massive hill leading up to a really old chapel where we hang out. It's a few hundred foot climb to the top. And fairly steep.
View attachment 903097
Once we climb all those stairs we're there!!! I'm pooped and Carli is rarin' to go play. So we play and then flop!
View attachment 903099
That's the view sitting on the front steps of the chapel looking down and to the north. There are a lot of folks from the 1800's buried here. All around the base of the hill are these super old crypts that lead into the the hill itself. Very awesome. Some are still open. They are pretty eerie on the inside, yes! My hairs never fail to stand up.

I know a few folks here who love Angels. One of you even shared a very special Angel story with me that I will never ever in my life forget (you know who you are
So we enjoy walking in cemeteries. I'm weird. Usually there are no people to speak of and they are very peaceful and quiet. Great places to just relax, play some frisbee and totally chill.
Well then, lets get together and go hang around some old cemeteries.
