Acreage dwellers ... show us your pics
Did a quick walk around the house this morning, and took a few photos. It's a very crisp and clear morning, with fresh snowfall. I love the look of it.

Don't worry, I'm sure people will have acreages in warm places too.

Nice, but I'm glad that my apartment complex hires a lawn crew so I don't have to take care of the shrubbery.

Not sure what constitutes "acreage" but we live on 2 acres in a house built in 1763.

This is my 5.6, complete with the Trebuchet I can't get my son to dispose of. Him and a couple of his buddies built it for a physics class project.
