The shopping cart belonged to Furr's, which was the store before it was Raley's, so when Marty worked at Raley's, they told him to get rid of that one single Furrs cart. Instead of putting it in the dumpster, though, he brought it home. I used it in summer to move houseplants in and out. Now the store is Albertson's, so they REALLY don't want Raley's rejected Furr's cart. This information is provided for anyone who was tempted to think of me as a grocery-cart thief. And if I'm ever a bag lady, I have a head start.
I love the yard tour... the visual and the sounds...I have a cd that has sounds like that...I had to pay $15 for..lol! I should make one for free since I get those sounds occasionally here.. not often without the sounds of traffic though! You could make a cd of it yourself...it's soo serene and joyful sounding! Great capture...I LOVE it!! Thanks for sharing it, especially now (for me) I am buried in 10 feet of snow--ugh! :0)
At our old house we wear a few blocks from I-40 and after a while it just started to sound like running water to me. I have a friend who lives near the railroad and he stopped hearing the trains when he hadn't been there very long.
When my kids stayed with their cousins in the rural edges of a small town, the noises that woke them up were horses, dogs and chickens. They could hardly sleep with all that noise! It didn't help that my brother in law took them for a walk up in the hills behind the house and when they came to the skeleton of a coyote or something, he said that was one of the other nephews who went for a walk with him. I think Marty was scared for a year or two, of going for another walk with his uncle.
People get so used to the view, the sound, the climate and it's interesting that what is peaceful and homey to one is scary and foreign to others.

That is such a cool reflection in your pool!
I simply love that truck. It looks so friendly and waiting to help.
