Welcome to Noblesville, Indiana!

We've been in our new house in Noblesville since Friday, and I've already seen a yellow supermoon wreathed in indigo clouds, and a handful of amazing sunsets. Our backyard faces a grass runway airport with the occasional prop plane buzzing overhead, and barely a tree in sight (which is good and bad).

I intentionally chose a south-facing backyard - It's not every day you have a say in which direction your porch faces. We lucked out with a 1-story house directly behind us and immediately to our west, which means I'm at least not completely boxed in.

Now I'm torn between wanting massive mature trees for shade and curb appeal, and wanting no trees at all for an unobstructed view of the night sky. Quite the dilemma!

I have much more to "scope" out in the near future, but for now here is a sunrise from yesterday morning. I woke up at 6:30am and noticed the blinds were orange, so I peaked through another northeast window and saw this... no filter no manipulation, taken with iPhone!
