I have really grown to love my little neighborhood and when I say little I mean very little. Me and the girls frequently walk around our neighborhood. Lately Chloe had decided she wanted to try riding her bike around our block. Now our block is not a small block, it is 2 miles. Chloe does make it all the way around our block. I thought is should document where we live and after looking at these pictures and realized how beautiful our neighborhood is. I feel so blessed to live where we do and am excited to raise our family here.
We actually live in Blossom. I found out is was named Blossom because of the cherry orchards that were here when it was first settled. I think Blossom's population is about 75!! We really, really live out in the country (BFE)!!!
Chloe riding her bike.
Tessa hanging out in the stroller
Chloe cruising down the street with Roanie in tow. Roanie always goes with us for protection. There are some mean and scary dogs that live down the road. They are tied up most of the time but sometimes they are not. I have mace in my stroller and am not afraid to use it!!!
We pass one dairy,
A lot of hay
Here is Miss Caution. She did not want to ride her bike down the hill ( small downward bump in the road) because she just took her helmet off because she was sweating too much.
We also pass a lot of farm equipment,
a canal,
a hay field,
a wheat field,
and a massive corn field, 
This particular night we watched a beautiful sunset.
And you can not forget the lovely swamps that bring the dang mosquito's. I think Chloe just about got carried away because the mosquito's were attacking her. I could not tell her because she would have had a fit.
I did not mention the skunks. Last night I went running by myself around 8:15 and found myself about 3 feet away from a skunks back side. I do not think I have ever ran that fast. The rest of my run I was so jumpy. I was nervous of all the the creature lurking in the ditches.
I really do love where we live and am grateful for all the beauties around us.

That is so funny about the skunk! I've had that exact same thing happen to me before running. It does make you so jumpy afterwards! I love that you took the time to take some pictures and enjoy the beauty you see on your walks.
so fun! i would love to live somewhere like that.
I would have loved to see you running away from that skunk! Love the pictures, it is so pretty there.
Dad told me about Tessa. Poor girl, give her an extra kiss from me!
I was laughing at Chloe not wanting to ride down that hill because of a bump in the road. Corbin is the same way. And he even complains if he starts to sweat and then wants that bike helmet off. Too funny!
Great pictures. It is a great place to live.
Love all your new post. That picture of Chloe is so beautiful. She is such a cute girl.
