Cyndi, I've got a small lot that can't even be measured as a fraction of an

acre.  It's 60 x 120 and that includes the house, garage, driveway,

sidewalks, porch, Florida room.  I've often wished I had more room but then

I realize that this is about as much as I can handle by myself -

maintnenance and purchasing power -wise.  I suppose if I had more space I'd

just spread out my divisions instead of selling them.  I have very little

lawn left, but there's always room for improvement.
