I used to love to go there and the air was full of flower fragrance. I posted them on my flickr sight if you want to take a peek.<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/29057762@N03/Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17469878511196407233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-15338119687617053952009-11-12T13:39:24.362-07:002009-11-12T13:39:24.362-07:00bro -- as we saw it 10 years ago; these days, I wo...bro -- as we saw it 10 years ago; these days, I would guess a row of foreclosure notices replacing the worn out farm houses.<br /><br />lady -- it's too bad we don't have an equally productive way of life for our future here.

But, looking at the results of our last election, it looks like suburban development is what the voters want -- that's what they voted for.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-17755669353230752582009-11-12T09:55:03.150-07:002009-11-12T09:55:03.150-07:00The first ranch is the one in my post on February ...The first ranch is the one in my post on February 11. It's sad to see it in such bad shape. <br />I stood right where you did to get a shot of the second ranch a few months ago but haven't posted it yet. That one is still active from the looks of it.
