Front Door, Back Door

This is a photography meme. I was tagged by Angel. The rules are listed below and I thought it would be a lot of fun to see all of the different views! Hope you will play, whether I tag you or not!
1. Step out of your front door and take a picture.
2. Step out of your back door and take a picture.
3. Put them on your blog, along with the rules.
4. If there are things in the photos that you particularly like or dislike, you can point them out, or just explain what we are seeing. Maybe changes over the seasons or some junk in your neighbor's yard that drives you nuts.
5. Tag as many or as few people as you like. Preferably at least one.

This is the image out my front door.

I can't say that there is much that I like other than our green grass and the size of our yard. Now for I what I don't like:

• I don't like that our street is used as a cut through to other neighborhoods and people speed down our street. The speed limit is 20, but I have seen people doing 40 easily. If I am outside or walking the dogs, I yell at these people or act like I am going to step out in front of them. I have even thought about slinging the dog's poop bag at them or throwing nails under their tires.
• Secondly, I don't like the big dirt hill that's behind the house across the street. This is where they are building more town homes and right now it's a playground for kids. Every after noon the boys and maybe even the girls go hang out on the dirt hill, which causes Sophie to bark at them.
• Lastly, my neighbors across the street...not so much that I don't like them, but I don't even know them. We have lived here for almost 3 years, and I haven't even met the neighbor whose full house is in the pic. However, I do know all about him (that's another post another day, maybe). The neighbors on the right side of the pic, are always out of the country and are very rarely at home. I have spoken to them once when I found a dog in the neighborhood. The neighbors on the far left side, I met when I first moved in and have had encounters with, but needless to say we don't mesh with them. Let's just say bad dog owners, and you know how I love my dogs.

This is the view out the back door.

• I love that the sun sets in the west and our back yard is shaded in the afternoon.
• I love that we have a covered deck. I often go out here, sit and read since a cool wind blows through this area.
• I love our big back yard which allows the dogs to run around with each other and chase rabbits that trickle in our yard.
• I love all our trees, especially our red maples in the fall.
• I love our neighbors behind us, whose house is the first on the left (it's the one that's somewhat cut off). You can't really tell, but there's a creek between our yard and the people behind us, so we have to find a good jumping spot to get over there unless we want to walk all the way around.

Now for what I don't like...

• Notice how I have pointed out all the playscapes. There are 4 in my immediate view. I don't mind that they are there, but what I do mind is when I am enjoying a good book or doing my bible study, and the kids are running around screaming at the top of their lungs. This is totally unnecessary.
• The house on the far right has a sweet mastiff, but is usually outside. I hate that...I want to go steal him and love on him. Poor pooch. If you are familiar with mastiffs, they like to be around people.
• Oh yea, you can't really see it, but the house with the bushes lining the back yard (far left), it's in foreclosure so their yard hasn't been mowed in forever. No telling what is living over there, not to mention the seeds from the weeds blowing everywhere.

I tag Ashley since I want to see what she say's about the same views :)
