where I live ~ second half

our tree house, aka Fort Shalom, from the ground

looking up through the trap door of Fort Shalom

on a platform above the tree house. at this point, I'm about - what - 13 feet off the ground? :O

this is how we get down! swing down. ooh yeah. 

our failed attempt at planting fruit trees in SD

the field north of our house. awesome nothingness. 

......oops. hehe!

TRACKS!!! 

CROP CIRCLES! 

raccoons. so cute but so naughty. 

and - randomly - my car!!! *sigh* I love that car. 

next time you see pictures of where I live, everything will most likely be covered in feet of snow. stay tuned!
