The woods are ours too.  (Andy’s friend’s truck for those who may wonder how our GMC changed to a Chevy 😉) From the rear corner looking toward the road. Our house will be in front of where the fire is.  The neighbor’s dog came to visit today! She’s super sweet and enjoyed following the girls all over the field and playing fetch. Hopefully she and Cooper will get along well ...
