It's amazing the changes that occur in just a few years. Many times they are so incremental that we lose track of all that has been accomplished. Before pictures help a lot with that.

It is just a little over an acre in size which fits just right in our little plot of land. Our back yard slopes downward and we get 40 acres of run-off...according to the wildlife or agricultural resources people. I get good ideas lying awake at night too, and make a lot of lists of things to do. :)Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-9147278233985957942014-08-04T09:52:26.209-07:002014-08-04T09:52:26.209-07:00Hey Linda!

So much effort and caring, wow. It is amazing, and if you are awake at 4 am, I think you know that it is a pretty big club to belong to! It would seem that all the work you do would have you exhausted, but our bodies do strange things.

The best I'll be able to do someday (I hope) is a small piece of land big enough for me, a couple of chickens and a small garden again. Your life looks dreamy!Gammyshousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681740912111693697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-8281044187876050422014-08-03T17:18:07.176-07:002014-08-03T17:18:07.176-07:00Thank you.
