Brian and I reside in southeastern Pennsylvania, about 3 hours northwest of Philadelphia.  We were born and raised in this area, and our families still reside here.    We live in a small country community, with a population of about 5 thousand people.  Although the population has grown since we moved in 4 years ago.

We enjoy living here in the country, we are both not city people.  We like to smell the fresh country air, and love to look at our colorful mountains.  We like the open spaces, the friendly neighbors, and the peace and quiet.  Not very much traffic on our little township road, other then the school bus and others who reside here.

We enjoy the fall foilage, the crisp fall air, and the chilly nights.  Our temperatures here around this time are around 40 degrees at night and are close to 65 degrees during the day.  We have no snow here yet, but usually close to Thanksgiving we get a dusting or two.
 

Our snowfall here is around 24 inches or so.  It really depends on the year.  We have had heavier snowfalls here a few years ago.  In 1996 we had over 5 feet of snow in a few days, and back in 1976 we double that amount.  Our snow usually falls around Christmas time, although the last few years, our Christmas's have been green.

Our area here is known for it's ice storms a few times a year.  We get some real bad ones here where the ice is a few inches thick on the road ways.  Of course it makes things worse when it snows on top of it.  It can be a real mess.  In weather like that you need a snowmobile not a 4x4.
 

When you stand in our front living room, you can see the Appalachian Mountain range in front of you.  The Mountain range runs the east coast from Georgia to Maine, and has many trails for visitors to hike.  We of course are not the hiking type, but they are beautiful to look at.  We have many lakes and parks in our area.  We do occassionally take a drive to one of these parks and enjoy the scenery.

Many who live here take for granted what a beautiful area we live in.  We are surrounded with farmland, mountains, and beautiful colors of fall.  Who wouldn't want to live here?
 

I will be adding some photos of our area real soon.  I am having problems with my scanner, so it may take a while.

But we would love for you to visit our area if you get the opportunity.  Come visit PA!

Please feel free to email us, we would love to hear from you.
