I was geekily excited this week to discover that Google updated their satellite photos of our area. Now I have a third aerial photo to add to our string of farm baby pics! The oldest one, above, dates from soon after we moved in.

This one is from fall 2011 (courtesy of Bing).

And here's our current one that I would date to fall 2015. You can see that we're slowly streamlining our front garden (near the bottom of the photo above) and had recently planted garlic in those non-patchwork beds.

Thanks for the gift of perspective, Google!
