Well no one's posted after me here - but I'm going to update anyway.
Jabber and I took advantage of Missouri's weirdly mild weather this weekend(Almost 60 in February! And today it's 30 - at the moment - and dropping with a low of 11 forecast. Crazy.) and took a drive down to our soon-to-be property. We had a lovely hike for a couple hours, trying to find the property lines. (I think a call to a surveyor is going to be 1st on our To-Do list.) We discovered what I
think are lots of wild black raspberry brambles, what I'm
sure are wild blackberry brambles, and a wet-weather creek running through the property. Jabber was quite pleased to find deer poop.
All in all, it's a lovely little piece of land. Going there was good...I've been a bit worried about the purchase. It's a lot of money for land 45 minutes away that we aren't living on...okay actually, it's a
really good buy...but even cheap real estate isn't
cheap. But seeing it again makes me happier with our decision to buy.
Jabber bought me a wild mushroom book. I'll have my own brand of hunting to do.
I'm looking forward to spring!
