That, spending all summer getting ready for winter is why my dad moved to Florida in 1952. You have a wonderful home and winter does have it's good points but I think that I will stay where the winters are mild.

The county I live in has 8 people per square mile. I think mainly because of the harsh winters. I prefer the cold over people.

Gene, we've been very busy with some unexpected family issues, so no shooting for us, lately, either.

I hope everyone is okay.

Thanks. We're fine.

You’re “enjoying” the first year stuff that has to be done but it will get better. We carved our place out of undeveloped property and I’m just now (six years later) starting to feel like I’m just doing maintenance vs devolvement. Your pictures show that you have accomplished quite a bit in the short time you have had available to you, particularly with the late spring you had.

I’m getting far more tractor seat time than trigger. I’m halfway done digging out the side slope for a turn around. Next will be to spread gravel. I’m also adding a parking spot at the bottom of the driveway near the county road. I parked my lawn mower at a near level spot on the hill. I’m looking at a 1949 Allison Chambers tractor that I might buy as lawn art. It’s a lot bigger than the mower and will be more visible from the road.

Well farmer Gene, I know you're having fun. The work you're doing will pay off, as you well know. Looks beautiful there my friend.

You’re getting your monies worth out of that tractor. Nice work.

Sure like the address sign.

The fire department requires all houses to have an regulation address sign.

That’s a good thing but yours has class. Mine is a white composite post similar to a highway mile marker with red numbers on it. The fire district provides and installs them for a $20 donation which is money well spent. Not near as attractive as yours is.
