Land spreading out so far and wide...

Welcome to the musings of Ed and Beverly as they transition from 30 years in the suburbs to life on the rural route

Spring is just around the corner

Lots to do and a short time to get there. There's a garden to plan, plow, and plant. There's a fence to build to create a boundary. There's a pond to push up. The road is about all washed away from the monsoon season we call winter in Alabama. So there's gravel to buy and spread. The lawn tractor needs its winter maintenance. More brush to haul and burn. A boat to pull out of the marsh. Don't know where it came from but it's there. Beverly and I discovered the county dump on one of our recent reconnaissance outings. So now we can haul the leftover trash from the previous owner to a legal destination. The daffodil bulbs we planted back in the fall are missing in action .. probably dug up by the passing family of deer. The blackberry bushes we bush hogged back in the fall are lying in wait for warmer weather .. herbicides. Good time to plant some tree seedlings for some future shade. More to come.
