Robinson Ranch

Three years ago, my husband and I built a home outside of Oakland, Iowa. It has become my safe haven. I spend a lot of time in the summer working on creating and maintaining flower beds around our 2-acre home. At any time of the year, it is a joy to sit outside and enjoy the nature around us.

We have pretty quiet neighbors on the north, west (fields), and east sides of us. The herd of Angus to the north of us (sometimes) come close to our property in the mornings and late evenings to say hello.

Our noisy neighbors are on Wednesdays' and Thursdays' evenings. This is when it is Ladies and Guys Night on the golf course. Let just say we do have a fine collection of golf balls we have collected the 2 1/2 years we have lived here.
