Shiloh

On the 14th of August we closed on our land. It is 5.01 acres surrounded on two sides by the Blackwater River State Forest.  The most noise that we have most of the time is the neighbors donkey who brays about every four hours; that is unless you count the noise of the chainsaw. But hey, an axe takes too long!

Within just a couple of hours after the closing Rachel was out on the land with her father beginning the clearing process. The property is covered by a combination of pines and oaks with smaller numbers of holly and even a magnolia tree that is going to be at the corner of the yard.

While it isn’t an “elegant” picture the following shows some of the trees:

This show mostly smaller pines and the smaller scrub trees, but trust me there are some nice size oaks.

It took several days of extremely hard work to clear a road to the house site. August in northwest Florida can prove to be both very hot and humid!
