 What can you see outside of your shop?
After cruising through the galleries I noticed what looked to be some very nice views and pleasant neighborhoods in the background of many of the pics. It got me to wondering, what do you see outside of your shop door? I live on top of a ridge and the view makes it hard to get work done!  |

One way is a field of alfalfa with the neighbors paint horses coralled on the far side of it. The other way is M mountain and behind it the Magdalena ridge with an observatory way up on it. Often has snow on it in early June.

GUILT! I look out at 5.6 acres of pasture and landscaping that I am ignoring because I am standing in front of a fire!

TREES, LOTS OF TREES. We have 61+acres of East TEXAS woods. 40% pine 60% hardwood. Had a select cutting back in '97 and could do it again but don't want the mess just now. Will probably wait a few more years. Yeap, lots and lots of trees....

Some evenings I have the outside looking in at me. Now and then a large doe will poke her head into the door just to see what's going on in there. Other than that I have woods, fields and lots of critters . Finnr

My neighbor's yards. I live on a half acre lot in the center of my town. Fortunately the view never distracts me from the work at hand. Unforunately it means I won't be building a new smithy anytime soon!
