How cool about the flying squirrels!

Other prominent trees in my area are the Aspens that you mentioned, maples, weeping willows, Russian olives, cherry, pear, apple, and many that I don't know the names of. There are lots of evergreens (pines, and blue spruce in particular). My yard also has elms (weeds, basically), a "horse chestnut", ash, peach, one of the aforementioned pines, and a couple of other weedy trees that I don't know what they are. :)

Cool....

My place has a mixture of Oaks (Red, White, Pin, Water Oak), Fig, Maple, Dogwood, Poplar, Cedars, Lilacs, Sweet Gum and Loblolly Pine....I cut the evergreens waaaay away from the house, 'cuz I'm on a well and evergreens like to drink...They'll send roots 20 feet or more into a well or drainfield...

I gotta get Sigette to stop feeding critters on the back deck, as I got the bejeezus scared outta me a couple of weeks ago...

I was leaving for work at 5:00 AM, but was heading out the door to feed the chickens before I left...Anyway, there's a 10 point whitetail buck eating corn Sigette left for the squirrels...3 feet away!

He LEPT over the deck rail, which is about 8 feet above the ground...And he didn't miss a step....hahahaha I almost pooped :shock:

WOW! That's awesome!

I also have a bunch of lilacs... but I thought of those as bushes rather than trees.

The major difference over here is that we go by the number of bedrooms and not the actual square footage. I have a modest three bedroom semi-detached ex-council house that is by no means grand, with a front and back garden and not enough cupboard space, I'll post a pic when I've mown the front grass :-) .

Mine is four bedrooms, but the closet in the master bath is large enough to be a small bedroom.... :roll:

But it is still just three trailers stuck together.
