They’re Watching!

My Backyard From Space!
We have put on our metal colander tin foil hats.

This was on a Saturday morning in July 2017
about a month after I had heart bypass surgery.
Our house is upper left and the Annex is upper right
and Sue’s little house is in the middle.
Our friend Gary’s truck is parked in front of our house on the street.
He came over to help replace the post on our mail box.
If you look closely you can see two shadows and a white dot.
The white dot is me holding the post while Gary tamps the dirt back in around the post.
The lawn went brown, the gardens didn’t do as well and projects where left undone.
As you look at the rest of the place all of our buildings have names
because it’s easier to avoid confusion in a conversation.
We have Lester, Doll House, The Lodge, Circulation Department, Back Garage,
Paint Shed, Sheep Pen, Motor Works and Casa Verde, each with a story.
Missing is Falling Down Barney because it fell down so we recycled the lumber
and cut up the rest for the wood stove, but we ended up with parking!
The trails around the buildings and gardens is where I did
the majority of my walking for rehab after getting home from the hospital.
Over the summer and autumn paths got worn deeper, wider and
morphed into a complex pattern etched into the lawn.
All yards evolve and the next photo from space will have major changes.
I will try to wave or something in the next photo!

That is very cool and also that you identified every part for us. Did you shoot this with a drone or acquire it somewhere else? ~V~

Smart of you for naming the different stations. A comprehensive view. One to be taken in different seasons. I presume you know the owner of the drone.
