Our noisy neighbors!!

This is what we see across our back yard. Isn't it beautiful? Look how pretty those trees are!

And here is the view from our back deck. Brad and I had someone come out and carve out a path for our golf cart to get down to the water. He cleared out a lot of trees and brush, and now we have a clearer view of the lake. It doesn't look that great now with 9 less feet of water in it, but maybe one day it will be full again??
Out where we live, it's the country!! This is the first time we haven't lived in a neighborhood, so it took a little while to get used to how quiet it really is out here. We can't see any of our neighbors from where we live (which is nice), and really the only traffic we hear comes off the lake. Will was actually scared at Abigail's one time by a car passing by...we've grown used to the peace!
However, we have two things out here that are very loud...one is the train! We don't live too close to the tracks, but I guess across the lake is pretty close, and the sound bounces off the water, so every night, we hear that train while we're in bed, and off and on throughout the day. Good thing my kids like trains! :)
The other noisy part of where we live is our neighbors across the lake...at the farm! Brad ran in to one when he was fishing one day. Will has been afraid that they will come over to visit. They sound their voices a lot. And finally, on Sunday, Will and I were able to see them as they came down to the water. Meet our noisy neighbors...

Gotta love the country life!
