Myself, having grown up on 20+ acres (well, at least for a few years of my life....the formative ones!), and my husband who also (at one point in his life) owned 40+ acres; we understand the joy that comes from the privacy and satisfying work having land can offer....joy that no subdivision can offer.
We closed on our 37.47 acres on May 31st, 2012. It was becoming grown up with shade trees, especially on the dams that separate the two ponds on the property. Since Thursday, we have invested a good 7 1/2 hours with chain saws. The pictures below were taken almost 2 years ago (and show the land in MUCH better condition than it is currently). Now, the land is littered with small trees and the pasture badly needs cut. We hope to cut hay and return most of the land back to pasture.
Wanting to avoid wordiness, I will end my initial post here. This blog will be continually updated to reflect our progress....as it is made. Enjoy the journey!
