Google Maps has updated the imagery of our new house since we've moved in. I'm excited because it documents a pivotal moment in our lives, and shows how much hard work we have put into the farm in such a short period of time. I am also excited because I can pinpoint, to nearly the day, when this image was taken (something like 1 pm, June 16, 2010), because:- Our friend's truck is in the driveway (which we borrowed after the June 2 high altitude balloon launch, when our truck broke down).
- The arena is finished and the fences are all up, T and MM are in the paddocks, but there's no sign of Maisy and Harley, so it had to be before June 18.
- We're holding on to the dressage stuff after the Chicken Event and prior to the Golden Spike Event on the weekend of June 19.
So, who needs family snapshots any more? Maybe I should check streetview and see if we have some shots of us drinking beer with the neighbors. Speaking of which, there are some cool things to notice in these images:
- You can actually see the horses in the fields, and you can tell which is which (Music is the paint).
- You can see both dogs running north of the paddocks, and you can tell which is which (Captain is the beefy, slow one)
- You can see the old chicken coop (we just built a new one last week, keep up Google!)
- I am pretty sure you can see us sharing a beer with the neighbor under the tree just west of the chickens. Don't worry, Utah DABC - note shadows of the trees, it is after noon!
You should all run off and check Google Maps to see if they are documenting any changes you've been making recently. If not, request a flyover!
