For today’s Thursday Thirteen I’ve decided to show thirteen reasons why I love living way out in the boondocks. These are photos I’ve taken over the past year. So in no particular order…
1. The views from my east facing windows.
2. The smell of the rain mingled with sagebrush.
3. Old windmills and miner’s houses.
4. Pivots – no more flood irrigating!
5. Seeing rows of swathed hay and hearing all the equipment running.
6. Room for the kids to play.
7. Being able to teach the kids to shoot guns. This is Semisweet, my future Annie Oakley.
8. Cattle
9. Flowers – wild and not so wild
10. The bookmobile comes straight to our house every other Monday.
11. Hearing all the birds and getting pictures of those we don’t
12. Drying clothes out on the line
13. Twirling around like a little girl knowing no one else can see me!
Love these pics! I’m a small town girl myself. Thanks for sharing. A bookmobile! How fabulous!
Happy T13!

This was a beautiful blog spot! You are a great photographer as well as writer. Have you had classes in photography? What kind of camera do you have? Also, do you use alias’s for your names for safety reasons? Should I worry about that on my blog?
Take care and keep bloggin’!

Pivots … that is what they are called. Being the city slicker that I am I never knew that 🙂 !!
Love, love, love the pictures!
Fabulous pictures! I like that last flower one! I miss tie die!
Stop already! I have serious jealousy issues. I keep telling myself, “Though shalt not covet, thou shalt not covet.” Yeah, I’m coveting.
I’m with Icecream….
Great photos. Those miners’ cottages are something!
great pictures!!! Seems like a great place!!!
Visit me, my TT is up! 🙂
Great pictures! And I love your bookmobile! Knowing me, I probably try to ambush the poor driver and never let it leave :o)
Ooooohhh… I want to live where you live!!
Happy TT 🙂
Great pictures! They’re beautiful.
Happy TT!
WoW!!!! Just wow. Personally, I think it’s good to teach a child how to shoot and RESPECT the weapon. Learn early, and use it carefully. You made points with me there.
And the owl photo?!!!! Absolutely breathtaking.
My T T is posted. Won’t you stop by for a visit?
These are great pics!! I love it!! We don’t live quite in the boonies, but it is nice to be so close to semi-wild areas!
Wow — you’re gettin’ fancy with that photo editing software! 🙂 Looks wonderful!
I love these pics, especially the birds and flowers. And playing in the hay.
Great post Montse–love it! You’ve become such a great photographer, and you know how much I adore pictures of your idealic farm life 🙂
Great pics. We live in the boondocks too!
I am a fellow chocolate lover. You should read about my birthday (Oct. 4) Ninety percent of my gifts were chocolate! This is a really beautiful blog, some of my favorite pics I’ve ever seen on a blog. Your place is almost old-world other-wordly!
It think it is very hard to appreciate just how wonderful living in rural Nevada is, without actually living there. There is nothing else quite like it! We sure miss it!
Beautiful shots, I especially love your clothesline of tie-dyed shirts. I’m not sure if this city girl can hack it in your country, I already think my suburban town is the boonies! Thanks for sharing and visiting.
Oh my goodness! Your photos are so rich and beautiful! I love all of them and you are definitely making me see the benefits of living in the country!!!
Beautiful photography – especially liked the hopscotch one and the shot of the young child in the rain with galoshes. Great composition. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you’re having a great weekend, XINE
Your photos are awsome. You have such a good eye. I love this mini essay.
