Our Slice Of Shangri-La


At the risk of prattling on about hearth and home, I have to mention that we've taken yet another step in the completion of the homestead.

Our castle sits on a modest piece of land with a commanding view of the neighborhood. However, some of the homes -- ours among them -- are close enough that we feel somewhat "on display" when relaxing on the deck. The solution?-- a privacy barrier.

We had tried the subtle shrubbery route, but it would have been years before being enough so a handsome fence was chosen in their stead. I really don't like the idea that we need walls and fences to separate us from our neighbors. On the other hand, we all need our space and privacy, and we actually did the neighbors a favor. Our fence affords them the same privacy that it does for us.

If I could only figure out how to add on a garage to safely store the Harley-Davidson I don't have yet, this place would be perfect.
