Our road is a dead end, ending in a circle that faces onto an auto salvage yard. Here we stand in the middle of the circle, looking at the sound end of the house, on the left, with a seedless mulberry tree badly in need of pruning. The sharp leaves of yucca can be seen in front of the air conditioner. Next there's the light pole partially obscuring the two-horse Playday trailer. Note the guy wires coming off the pole, pointing to the junk yard; you'll need them for orientation in the next shots. Between the pole and the wires is "Bob" -- a mesquite tree Miri is proud of having pruned late last fall. Beyond "Bob" you can detect an indentation in the tall brown grass -- actually it begins here at the edge of the circle. I weed-whacked a path all around what will be the horse pasture sometime in the next month (I hope). The "road" will go (reading counterclockwise) around the pasture and it heads off to the right of the photo, around to the junkyard fence, all the way to the barbed wire fence at the "Back 40" as we affectionately call the farmland behind us (really it's just 20 acres). Then along that fence for a short distance, turning toward our house, missing the chain link fence in the back, skirting that fence along where the horse trailer rests now, and completing the circle where the yellow protector on the guy wire is.  January 20, 2004 (a cold and cloudy day).
