Home Sweet Home, Part 2

Months ago, I wrote a post about where we live (see here). It was during the month of March, which is not the prettiest time of year, and I promised I would update it with pictures of a prettier season. Given that September is a gorgeous month in the finger lakes, and there’s not too much else for me to report on, I thought now would be a good time to make good on that promise to put up some new pictures.


This is our apartment


This is looking into part of our backyard. We have corn and soybeans for a backyard neighbor.


This is looking north of our house


This is looking south of our house


And this is looking directly east - again, we have corn for neighbors.

We're always joking that we live in the middle of nowhere ... but it's true. We live surrounded by fields. It's nice that we have so much privacy and a large lawn (good for frisbee). The fall is perhaps my favorite time here in the finger lakes (though I do wish we could skip right over winter and go directly to spring). I'm sad that this is going to be our last fall in the finger lakes, so we're making plans to make it the best one yet. Our October is looking pretty busy :)

Wow! I thought we lived out in the country. How close is your nearest neighbors? How far do you drive to school or work? From the pictures I couldn't even see any other house remotely close. I did enjoy seeing your pictures though. It helps to visualize just what your world is like.

Its been too long since you posted! I miss you! I wish I were in those fall pictures about to go in and watch football with you. (Congrats on the Gator win by the way.) School is sooooo busy or I would have called you by now. I don't get out until 8:00 :( but if I get some time, you better believe i'll be giving you a call.

No way!! Breaking Dawn??? That has to be about the coolest thing ever. You would find a Breaking Dawn background. I hope you have a great weekend of football. I will after the RS Broadcast. Isn't it about time to make doughnuts? I found your recipie the other day. I'll have to make them. Mmmmmm.

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I miss the big beautiful trees in all their colorful glory in the autumn. Not enough to go back, but I do miss it. Thanks for the pictures.
