Thanks for the comments, folks. It figures that the good folks who read here are into nature, too. Alvis - It took me a second, but 9 x 18 = 162. Nice one, Alvis. Nice one.

Did you live in a tree house? I have a cousin who once lived in a tree house. He also drove a hearse. He's also worked Security at both Woodstocks. He is one of my favorite people. Wow. Did you live in a tree house?

Now that you've twice posted pics of the deck and not the rest of the house...I'm beginning to get the idea that the deck was the prime draw of the home. But a fine draw it is. Absolutely stunning view. Sure beats my nicely framed view of my neighbors wandering around their kitchen.

I somehow am always pulled between a downtown condo and a cottage in the country with a big yard and few neighbours. I'm not exactly sure how to make peace between that dichotomy. That’s beautiful.

When we moved in our house there were just tons of vines choking the trees. It took weeks to cut them and then years to finally get them all out of the trees by pulling or waiting for the wind to do it. Two of the trees we saved were destroyed in this years ice storm.

Well, cool location, anyway. Yep, we only ever played nine holes there. There are lots of things we miss about living in AR, not the least of which is my family (and a smidge of Shannon's). Anna - It's funny you mentioned its being a great family home, because it had a pretty much nonexistent yard in front or back. So, short of playing in the deep woods or the asphalt cul-de-sac, the family time would have been indoors or on the 12-foot high deck. Then again, there were the totally killer hiking trails within a few miles. And places that inspired the United States' first National River within 100. Simon - Them skeeters was like small birds, 'cept they didn't sing as purty. But seriously, the view could calm me no matter what had happened that day or the day before. The pink, I admit, is from a potted flower on the deck rail. Of course we get snow in Arkansas -- if you know where to go. Canada snow? No. But a good six- or eight-incher each winter, with a few two-to-fours thrown in on occasion, isn't unusual. That corner of the state always gets more than the rest. Charles - Cool house, indeed.

I wonder what the mosquitoes are like in the summer." But then I started thinking about how gorgeous that was, and how I'd never really pictured snow in Arkansas before. I really like that tiny splash of pink in there too. In Texas by some weird twists of fate, eh?
