04:18 , June 28, 2006 Today's question on the Porch is asking us what we see outside our front door. When I open the door, I see cows. Many, many cows, on all four sides of me. Lots of pasture, and a pond to the right. I see a lonely road that stretches down to our house, the last one on the street. And I see a crooked post mailbox, one that you might see in paintings of American folklore. I see a massive tree whose branches hit another tree's, up at the very top, creating lots of shade in our front yard. And I see two barns and a couple of tractors. Best of all, I see many, many large hay rolls....something you don't see in Calif (they are small and square there). Hay rolls stacked in the field to the left, covered with black plastic, and more hayrolls dotting the countryside to the right, waiting to be "put up" for winter feedings. I love where I live in northeastern Tennessee.
