Our Homestead

A progression of our newly purchased 5 acres will be recorded here.

Here's our wild land on the day we bought it. This is the Western edge.

This is the Eastern edge.

Here is our land finally cleared, and our beautiful curved 300' driveway road we drew and staked in the dirt. It's really fun drawing this large, since I usually make tiny beads. We're awaiting the culvert, rocks, and water meter. 8-15-05

Most of these lovely trees were cut down by Hurricane Rita, and I don't have the heart to take any photos yet. Chester has planted it with Rye which is up in patches, so perhaps when it fills in, I'll show you some updates. The culvert and water meter are in, but since the storm caused the price of Limestone to soar, we are waiting to spread the rock. The pond is larger and deeper since Jake raised our yard level with it. :) 

Our land is getting greener, the pond is full, our sewer system, which will water part of the front yard is in, and we have a strange canine visitor. 3-'06
