lew Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hiya guys, haven't been around lately while we've been getting settled in our new home in the country. We moved in over the weekend and things have been pretty hectic for the last few days as anyone who has moved knows all too well. Hard to explain how fantastic it feels to finally be living in the country after a lifetime in the city. Were about 15 miles north of Peterboro and a mile down at the end of a dirt road and maybe 100 yards from Clear Lake. The only sounds I hear are the trees rustling in the wind. Here's the view from the front veranda with the sun rising over Clear Lake this morning And every morning & evening the neighbors wander into the backyard for a chat. This is from the back deck this morning. Right at the back of my property is a mile of bush with a trail leading right past my place that the critters use as a pathway. Just as I'm typing this right now and looking out the window, 3 deer walked down the road, up the driveway and into the yard Were gonna luv living here and it's a huge change in our life style. Anyways, I just stopped by to say hey and test my new Rogers Rocket Hub. This thing is just as fast as Hi-Speed which is great as I was afraid I'd be stuck on dial-up. I don't think I'll be around too much as I'm gonna be enjoying the great outdoors for everything it's worth. Have a good evening everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radnine Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 And every morning & evening the neighbors wander into the backyard for a chat. A tall fence will take care of those neighbours Lew, and you can shoot the deer. Don't get the two mixed up 'kay? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brkygetr Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Enjoy Lew...can't say as we know each other but a man who takes and enjoys the fact that he moved from concrete to gravel is a champion in my books buddy!!!! Have at er', never look back...concrete ain't worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Lew, wait until you have a few dozen Hummingbirds buzz around you this summer My oldman who wasn't much of a bird person, is now the savior of the hummingbirds around my parents place, lol. Has the feeders topped up with sugar water, oranges out for the Orioles, feed out in the winter for the turkeys To funny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) Not to worry Lew...You are not losing your hearing... All that non-noise you hear at night is the sound of silence...rarely will you hear any sirens from ambulances or fire engines up this way...takes a bit of getting used to... Just be careful driving during a snowstorm...we don't have lights and curbs on the roads to guide you like in the city...
