things....

cool things.....

our driveway is 2/10ths of a mile long.....so......you can be sure that car you hear is coming to you!

it's a great rollercoaster driveway ~~ C D B raises his arms and says "yee HAW" when his dad drives down it! here are his frog "friends"


the view is spectacular (IMHO) !!

i've seen 2 wild turkeys roaming the property (it's 20+ acres) and i'm told you see the occasional bear, mountain lion and lots of deer ~~ up the mountain in back

we border the Jefferson National Forest ~ can be sure not too much development will occur

we have 6 forts here (noooooooooo they are NOT deer blinds.....they are forts)


weird things............

there's a hog pen (the former owner told me "to get yourself a couple hogs" - uhhh no thanks! ~ the guy at the turn to our place has a HUGE hog - i'll visit it!)

they'd planned to be buried here!! so there is an area mapped and fenced for a cemetery ~ must GO! ~~ way! way! way!.... too creepy! (yep...i know i'm in the country now)

lots of trash/junk outlying the 4 acres (or so) that are surrounding the home ~ has to go

we have to take our trash/recycle in to town and the guy there is.....oh....maybe the word "odd" works! there are alot of rules and they don't recycle half the stuff that we are used to ~ he says "just throw that away".....

all in all.......

it's been pretty fun!
it's been an adventure
it's been a learning experience


sad things.....

I MISS MY CUTIE PIES

I WANT TO SEE THEM EVERYDAY (hurry up and move here ~ there's one for sale nearby!)
Have a fabulous weekend! ~~ i'll be carpeting!! or at least pretending to!
p.s i was able to knit 4 rounds on a sock before husbeast (ha!) came looking for me!
