Full House
Checking back in here at Pcf. It’s been a few months since I have logged in regularly so I figured I’d make a post about why I haven’t been around.
Last fall I had an opportunity at work to transfer and get a pretty good bonus to move. Since I’ve always wanted land, and I’m not getting any younger, I jumped on it and moved with my family from Nebraska to Northern Alabama. We sold our house in a hurry, moved, and bought 55 acres of land and a house that we closed on in march. So far we’ve got chickens and gardens, but we plan on making it into a fully working farm and earning an income off the land eventually.
There is so much to do that I haven’t had much time for chipping. I’ve still got a few sets though, and would still love to go to a meet up every once in a while if I can.
Here are a few pics I’ve take so far. It’s 55 acres with creeks running down both sides. The front 15 is pasture with the back 40 set up for hunting. There is a road up the middle and smaller ones on both sides. There is a pond in the back corner fed by one of the creeks. It’s about an acre and full of big bass and crappie. One of my boys caught about a 10lb bass in it the other day.
Anyway, good to be back, I’m sure there is a lot to catch up on. I’ll get to messages over the next day or two. Hope everyone has been well.
