We have quite a few low spots around the yard and when it's wet it's just a mess to walk around in. No unwelcome critters in either format, ha, so that was good. <br />1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-68450357463366513782015-01-25T22:20:28.688-06:002015-01-25T22:20:28.688-06:00I know, isn't that crazy?

If it all worked out as stated, that would have been a great opportunity. It would be interesting to know how many went over and succeeded. <br /><br />Yes, it was still kinda squishy outside this weekend. I put on my rubber boots, walked around, and picked some vegetables and fruit - but, as you said, too wet to do any garden work. <br />I know that just getting out of the city and being at your Farm was great - and drawing a line through some items on The List! <br />And hopefully there were not any unwelcome critters this time - dead or alive!

Oh, to live in a time when farmland was so inexpensive and easy to come by. Now, I'm in the boat of working years in the city to try to scrounge a down payment somewhere rural. <br /><br />Family lore has it that my great-grandfather paid a $10 down payment for his ranch in California's Santa Cruz Mountains--an area where even a small house and piece of land now can be over a million.
