This week's hostess is Vicki - yep, the same Vicki who hosted the very 1st Fun Monday a year ago. This week, she would like "For those of you who did NOT post a picture of your view from your front door, then your assignment is to post a view from your front door. To do this you stand in your doorway looking outside and take a picture. That simple. We (I) want to see what you see when you look out your front door.
For those of you who DID post your view, link back to that post you posted a year ago, and then re-list your very first post ever. We want to see how far you've come baby! Also, if you can, post the comments you received on that post. "

I was not a participant last year so here are this year's pictures.
No surprise here - it's Buddy!

The currently fallow onion field down the road

That would be one of the feed yards. Home to around 1,500,000 cows.
The good news is that our house is now DOWNWIND from the feedlots! Hurray!
Have fun visiting everyone else. Vicki has listed all of us in the right hand sidebar at her place - she's so clever.

Your hubby likes the Circus Peanut? Seriosuly? Is he mentally stable??
Hallie :-)
I love your wide open sky views. I bet the storms look exciting when they roll through.
wow. you and i live in, like, polar opposite places.
i think it's hilarious that you have taken the chicken jar as your new icon!!
I bet the storms are spectacular when they come through. That sky is great!
It is always good to be downwind from the stink!
Downwind or not at least there is no snow (or tornadoes) in your photos.
lovely open spaces!
happy fun monday!
wow, you can see for miles. Good thing you are downwind as well. Buddy looks happy. NLM
upwind, downwind, I always get them confused. I know one smells really bad so I don't know which one you're in. :(
Be glad it's not chicken houses though, truly they ARE bad!
another country dweller to make me jealous!!! Glad you are downwind!!
The downside of living across the street from a farm....when they spread the fields.....yuck! Love your pics!! AND I love your wide open space!!
Oh I bet this is one great place to live [feedlots or no feedlots]......just look at the wide open countryside!!! So peaceful and quiet. What a concept.
Happy Fun Monday.
Buddy really looks like he is posing! I think this is the first flat and open view I've seen today.
Living 'downwind' brings back memories of living in the country as a child during muck spreading if you get my drift!!
Hurray on being downwind!
That looks so much like my hometown I can't even stand it!
Yep. You're right!! :) I bet it is really pretty when everything is growing!!
So glad you're not downwind!
Who counted that many cows? All I know is the methane would be killer (glad you're on the "good" side of the wind now ;) ).
Gosh, your views show such wide open spaces...you could really spread out with all that room.
Wide open spaces! Lovely!
And really.....1,500,000 cows!!?? Good job your downwind of what comes out the other end as well!
Your views are so wide open! I'm glad you live downwind for sure! :)
Cool view! You really have the wide open spaces!
I like the clear, crisp, blue skies in your pictures, of course your sweet Buddy.
Don't you just love opening the door and finding that sweet boy waiting patiently for you to appear? I had a neighbor beagle, Sadie, who always did that for me. One thing for sure you'll always be able to spot unexpected guests driving up to your home! Looks like you've made peace with the feedlots--a lot of people aren't able to.
Now, These are open spaces!!! I know you are in TX but Views like this is why I LOVE KS. Watching the storms and sunsets and sunrises are the BEST!!!!
Beautiful Wide Open Spaces shots!!
My Inlaws live near a dairy, I don't know how many cows, but the worse smell, comes from the crop of rotten melons left behind. That sweet smell can be very strong and intoxicating in a bad way, definetly not like the smell of Jasmine.
Love the shot of Buddy, that's my favorite.
Happy Monday, Sandy!
LOL @ the hot drink on the side of the tub! I bet he felt very special. :*) Had a good time visiting with you the other day!
Seeing the vastness of your view makes me feel so much better about the world. Sometimes I fear that we are all too crammed together. Great post!
Love your big open space!! Reminds me of the big farm fields of the Midwest.
I bet that around June those fields are absolutely GORGEOUS and green.
Downwind is good.

So flat and open - I'd love to see it in the summer!
Wow, you sure have a view. It is very flat there, like it is here on our prairie. We live in rolling hills so unless your house is on top of the biggest one, the view is limited by the other hills.
My goodness, talk about your wide open spaces! It's been a long time since I've seen anything so flat. All we have here are hills upon hills.
That is entirely too many cows. I find one to be a bit stinky.
Looks warmer there than most of the posts I have been visiting.
Down wind from the feedlots would definitely be a good thing. LOL
cowabunga -- that's a lot of bovine!!!
So happy you are downwind. There is a huge one about 20 miles from here that comes in on certain weather fronts. It isn't nice at all.
There's nothin' between you and the north pole but a barbed wire fence, dear.
That's actually quite a spectacular vista, almost like looking out on the ocean. I remember when I used to drive through Kettlemen's on the way to LA, there's were tons of feed lots there.
A million and a half cattle??! Holy crap that's a lot of moo'ing..or crap I suppose too. Thank goodness you ARE downwind. Your place looks amazing with all that wide open space though. Lots of room for little Buddy to run and play.
It's refreshing to see something besides SNOW!
Downwind is a good thing ;)
Wow ! you have a lot of space around you !! (and so many cows, lol)
