Country Love




Just a little bit of country love for you today.  This house is down the road from my favorite thrift store, and I just couldn't resist taking a picture.  Wouldn't you love to live here?   :)

Click on the photo to enlarge it, so you can see the geese in the road!  :)

    It's absolutely magic. Here in northern Illinois the landscape is flat, flat, flat. I love the gently rolling hills. Such a beautiful setting to live in.

    Mary,
    So lovely. You must live in a fairy tale. Looks like a painting. Add some brush strokes and you could sell it.

    Outstanding Mary!

    I can't help but wonder if this is an 'old' farm or not. The house and barns look fairly new. Maybe the house has been remodeled? Either way, those Geese are keeping out anyone who dares trespass! lol!

    Do you think the owners realize their farm is so picture perfect?
