I went for a walk around my yard looking for photo opportunities! I found some, take a look. All of my plants are grown organically with NO pesticides or herbicides put on them or in the soil.

I love how red this geranium is~

This was as close as I could get to this dragonfly

a hydrangea bloom dying, but still pretty

Banana spider

Philodendren plant

My Sago Palm that I just love~

Many more beauties below if you have time to check them out...

You have a great yard and a beautiful view of the lake. I am trying to figure out why you want to move.
:) Chris, the lake is muddy & full of catfish. We won't swim in it at all. We don't like to fish here either as we hate catfish - nasty bottom feeders!
We miss friends & family in Minnesota, the cooler wether & better jobs, healthcare & schools!

Very pretty photos.

I can understand the Minnesota thing, though. I lived there for a while.

Well a muddy lake you can't swim in is no fun. I understand well all but the cooler weather part. LOL
