Dan's brother Dave is currently working in Washington DC and commutes back and forth from there to Ohio each week. He has a great new job with the ONE very major drawback that it is NOT in Ohio where the children go to school and his wife works. But they seem to be making it work. Guess in this economic climate, you work were the work is.
So, while Dave drained the sprinkler system in anticipation of the winter freeze, Dan mowed the lawn. This is funny because Dan said he hasn't run a lawn mower in at least 20 years! You all know how big our lawn is! 10 x 75 feet!!! We even have a gardener do that! Patty, my sister-in-law, said that in the summer months, she sometimes mows the lawn 2x a week -- GET OUT! I could not do that. Guess it is a good thing I am in San Diego...a sort of desert.
But look at the colors of those trees and how open everything is. No tall, solid privacy fences, no 6' between homes, and no noise from your neighbors. It is very tranquil.
The homes are so charming and very different from our Southern California living.
In the backyard you will see more trees and open spaces. Just below their home is a running creek with geese floating about. I thought they were supposed to fly south... Anyway, just take in the beauty of the Midwestern landscape :)
