Recently I shared the video below across numerous social media sites as both a call to come visit this website, as well as to share a few experiences here on the property. I plan to do more of this specifically for you folks. This I should have done already.
I think it turned out pretty good.
Take care.

Sorry, I don’t use Instagram, so your video is useless to me.
Great video, and I’m so happy that you get time with Grandson. He’s growing like a weed!
D. Williams, I don’t do Instagram either, but if you click on the vague triangle in the center of the second photo you should be able to watch the video.
Thanks SingleMom. Yes he is. I haven’t shared a picture of his little sister – my one and only granddaughter. The absolute cutest!! I’ll share one soon.
Great video. Wish I had that much wood ready for my fireplace. Enjoy every day that you can be outdoors and either do some work or just enjoy a squirrel foraging for food.
Good luck as the approaching Winter weather makes its arrival. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Jan. Funny you mention the squirrels. There are a few chimpmunks nearby that I have laid out pecans in their shells outside there homes. They seemed to have loved them.
a family, a home. a large garden and a sustainable source of water.
what more could a person want. it’s all about not having to depend on others for what makes you happy.
it’s hard to achieve, it took us 20yrs of hard work, scrimping and saving but financial independence is the key to living the dream. we have been debt free for 15 yrs now, as much as a person can be. insurance is our biggest expense now. but it can be done.
best of luck to you and yours John and lets hope 2024 will pass over us.
Thanks Scout. I could ask for more but so glad for what we have.
