Boy, you couldn't ask for a nicer summer! 70's-80's every day, sunny, breezy, occasional t-storm to keep everything green.

We have 2 acres, half yard, half woods & pond. The yard is fenced for the dogs.

WOW you must work relentlessly on maintaining the property it’s gorgeous. My moms by herself at the lake here, I stay a couple days every week with her to just keep the property up there, so I know exactly what’s involved.👍

Most of the real work was early in its life cycle, 25-30 years ago. Now we pretty much just mow and trim.

We haven't done a thing in the woods besides gathering wood for the firepit. And picking morels. The pond is just a source of wildlife.

Mrs. Dread bought that tramp 30 years ago. I was skeptical; thought all the kids would be injured and maimed.

Actually, it has been the most popular thing in the yard, between all our kids and our grandkids.

You know, there have been zero mosquitoes this summer so far, I'm liking that!

She’s a nurse, yes? I seem to remember reading that trampolines were the #1 cause of ER visits for kids.

We had a trampoline years ago and our insurance company made us get rid of it.

Nice property Dread.

Gorgeous! I can’t believe how green and lush your yard is. Here in MA we’re having the worst drought I can remember.
