    The blog has a great start! I just checked it out. What a lovely piece of land. What wonderful sounds must come from that pond at night! I go to sleep at night listening to tree frogs and an occasional green frog outside my window, just from a couple little water gardens I have. What a symphony must come from that pond in your pics!

    There are three ponds and one stream thru the back woods, one creek that wraps around the south and east property lines, and 2 tiny live springs. When dad bought the place it had been a pig farm, horrible erosion. He said the old farm couple who'd lived there always threw their trash into one of the ditches. It took 12 big dumptruck loads to clear out their trash. That's the reason he planted so many of these pines to fight the erosion and repair the ditches. Pretty cool to know that the logs in your home you planted yourself.

    Sounds like the previous owners weren't very good stewards. Sounds like your dad has taken good care of it. 12 dumptruck loads??? That's awful!
    Looking forward to watching the progress on the blog.

    I'll probably head up that way after July 2nd. Boys are going to take turns spending a few weeks. May be too hot to work by then!

    I love that two of the first things he put in are a swing and firepit. I haven't checked out your blog yet, but will.

    That really sounds like both fun and hard work. Like a good veggie garden.

    I love to hear about dreams come true.
