In my rural marketplace of Viroqua Wisconsin, I can certainly say there are always beautiful views everywhere you look. When it comes to taking a great photograph I would also say it is always a matter of determining the composition and framing the shot.
While I was out touring this new listing; planning to take a few additional photos, I rounded this corner and saw the view which I felt would help sell this land. I felt lucky because I even had a little help from the neighboring farmer who had recently tilled his fields. The freshly plowed earth certainly complimented the curve in the road and made an ordinary scene into a work of art... don't you think?

Located just a few miles West of Viroqua on a private dead end road, is a very attractive 20.70 acre tract of land. The property has scenic views to the west and sloped south facing fields, which should allow for a walk-out lower level basement, if anyone is searching for an ideal home site.
This tract of rural land fronts to the east on Fauske Road and at the far south end has hundreds of planted pine trees. It is not in any farm programs or forest programs of record. The north line of this property has frontage on Johnson Lane, which is an unimproved township road. This is where some of the best views can be found. The land has had a perc test which may still be used for installation of the septic system. All buyers should be sure to verify that this permit will work for your individual needs.
About a month ago, as driving down a county road in my market place, this cow decided to escape his fenced pasture right in front of me. I think he was heading for the hills and was happily kicking up his hoofs. As is commonly said in rural areas, good fences make good neighbors. Not allowing your cows to escape and run the road is also a neighborly good thing too!

Here are some fun sites to explore for Halloween. It must have been a good pumpkin growing season because everywhere I look there are huge stock piles of pumpkins.
I thought I would share the Free Pumpkin Carving Stencils for 2009 that we downloaded for free and some of the other ornate ones we found that we haven't tried yet. Happy pumpkin carving everyone! Stop by office in Grants Pass, Oregon and see our 270 pound pumpkin on display at Real Estate Cafe!
The first one we did was from Celebrating-halloween.com and they have a ton of different free pumpking carving stencils to download from the very simple classic patterns to much more ornate. We just did a classic jackolantern but there were tons to choose from.
Carvingpumpkins.com has some very ornate and pop culture focused stencils. We loved the Michael Jackson but have not attempted it yet since I think we'll need a bigger pumpkin.
Spookmaster.com shares a daily free pumpkin carving stencil. We did the bat which turned out beautifully.
The Better Homes & Gardens website also had a bunch of great free stencils. They are more classics but seem easy to use. I downloaded the ghost for next weekend.
Good luck with your pumpkins and please share any other sites you know about that have more free pumpkin carving stencils available.
