Here's a photo of our backyard taken Summer 2002 while Chris was out playing with Hunter & Riley. Those large shrubs/small trees in that whole part of the yard behind Chris are now mostly gone and our view is beautiful! We see beyond the 200-acre cornfield to the North where a slight sloping of the land creates a distant purple hue. We now only have just a few of the larger trees around in the backyard and everything else is so much more open and spacious-looking as shown in the next few more recent photos.
