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

WOW! That's awesome!

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

Sigette loves Lilacs, but I'm allergic to 'em when they bloom....they're so stinky

Yeah.

We gots roses too.

And weeds and crab grass. LOTS of weeds and crabgrass!

I'll tell ya...if it weren't for weeds and crabgrass, I'd have a DIRT LOT hahaha

Nah, I have too much clover in mine....Deer love it, and the bunnies...

Neil likes lilacs.

Small

Sorry, I don't remember.

That is fine. Small.

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....

But it is still just three trailers stuck together.

I have three tiny bedrooms with virtually no closet space. And one bathroom.

I have 2 bedrooms and a small kitchen and small bathroom. The basement is our bed room, and our office is 1 of the small rooms downstairs, the other is a small playroom for Scoot.

Huge fenced yard.
