To have land around you, that's all yours, what a dream come true. Sure, it might be a lot of work to create your masterpiece out of a blank canvas, but as you move slowly, your creative juices will flow like never before. I can't tell you how jealous I am...I really am. Looking forward to many more photos of the property and house...when do you close escrow?<br /><br />Blessings,<br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15369867469773842215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658720088249679531.post-14273948537491014862009-10-19T15:49:46.407-04:002009-10-19T15:49:46.407-04:00Wow, a fabulous piece of property! and the barn is...Wow, a fabulous piece of property! and the barn is wonderful. I love that you and your family have taken on a new adventure in your life. <br />I have always wanted to have land and to feel the peace all around us. I must say though I would be a bit concern also about what might be in the pond.

We've had a snake in our screen porch a couple times, and once in the house! Thankfully I was there to get it out.<br /><br />The property is gorgeous though! I LOVE that barn, what a good excuse to fill it with horses! And the pond is great. We have one, but its dry and doesnt ever hold any water.Wendy @ Ramblings from the Sunshine Statehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971002056217466891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658720088249679531.post-9418040737229455602009-10-18T12:30:08.198-04:002009-10-18T12:30:08.198-04:00Hm?

You will love it. Number 1 - get some cats! Outside cats.<br />Number 2 - the clearing of the land will eventually (remember that word) help with the critters by the house. Number 3 - I hope your husband is hiring someone to help him. That is a LOT of outside work! Ooooh, have you thought about getting chickens. I would love to try that someday! Well, I won't cuz I am in the city...but I like the thought. I am going to leave now...I need a nap just thinking about all that work...Ceekay-THINKIN of HOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111241316745923019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658720088249679531.post-91630517810656784762009-10-16T12:48:38.667-04:002009-10-16T12:48:38.667-04:00Snakes...Yikes!!

I've left my home be bland for years while I worked and raised kids. I just recently got on the band wagon of decorating and I didn't know it was so much work! I love it! But I sure don't know what I'm doing, so I'll be watching you because you're current home is just gorgeous. <br /><br />GATORS??

YOU POOR POOR DEAR!!!! I can feel your...Oh SHARI..<br />YOU POOR POOR DEAR!!!! I can feel your pain. When we moved out to a rural area, and because our property bordered Salt Creek, we had water snakes that would make their way up to our backyard.<br />OMH, IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.<br />Pookie then built a snake proof fence, but still every once in a while......<br />I'll tell you though. I like you, am TERRIFIED of them, but it does get easier. After the first few years of dealing with them, and Pookie being out of town so much, I had to slay the beasts myself! <br /><br />It was better than having to worry about seeing the same snake again.<br />So, I would scream HIIII YAAAAHHH!!!....chop it with a square point shovel and then yell...<br />YEAH BABY...WHO'S SCARED NOW...YOU PIECE OF CRAP SNAKE..GO TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!!<br /><br />I'm sure the neighbors thought I was absolutely crazy. <br /><br />It did help though!!!<br /><br />Then, I would take a digital<br />picture of it dead and<br />email it to Pookie when he was away. Asking him why was he doing this to me???????<br />And to please please take me back to the city.<br />Of course, it didn't work..lol <br /><br />You hang in there honeybunch, and you'll go around the "snake bend" just like I did. <br />Your property is just BEAUTIFUL!!!<br />Enjoy every inch of it. <br />I've missed ya!!!<br />:0)<br />GayleGaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00986905400582292895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658720088249679531.post-24358802607293567832009-10-16T02:03:57.398-04:002009-10-16T02:03:57.398-04:00Yikes!
