Grandma has more than 5 acres. Everything you see, from tree edge to tree edge and then some, is part of Grandma Mary's land. She owns the land right up to the town road behind the far trees, and the stream behind the other trees' edge. She is slowly turning it all into fancy gardens with lots of ledges and stones. She grows soybees too, but I always thought bees came from hives, or maybe nests, you know, the birds and the bees.
From the balcony you can see almost everything, the huge field of soybees (but we didn't see or hear any buzzing bees, maybe soybees are quieter than regalur bees?). Grandma Mary said just behind those trees is a little stream but it was too far away to walk.
	That tree all the way on the left is in the yard just outside the garage door. It is the oldest tree in the whole town and is over 200 years old! It's trunk was over 5 feet diameter and was really really REALLY big!
Grandma Mary has the prettiest flowers on her balcony! They are all overflowing their pots and planters.
The 3 girls play hide and seek in the colorful blossoms! Karla, Darla and Shandra just love the foliage.
