Like the farm house my Granddad and I stayedin during the week while my Grandmother was working out of town. There was a front and side yard. The other "side yard"was taken up with a kitchen garden having green beans, carrots, radishes, sweet crn, popcorn, and asparagus patch, etc. The backyard contained the well and pump (no runnin water), smokehouse, tool shed and outhouse. And the other side of the fence was pasture. DD> 8<----- BITE ----->8 DD> Don't look now but we're all edging closer to our "use by" date. RH> I know, I just had a birthday earlier this week.
