Well, God has truely Blessed our family. A few months ago, we purchased what will be "our farm" one day. We have a lot of hard work to put into it but we are so excited about our future journey. Our 17 acre paradise is in the Trackrock area of Blairsville, Georgia. This land is raw and will take many years of hard work.
You will see our journey begin here in a few pictures. We are super excited to see what God has in store for us here.
Here's to the beginning of us future farmers :-)
Lily, Bella & Lucas playing on the big dirt mound that was taken out of future basement.
They love to play "king of the mountain" up there and get all dirty!
The beginning of the 17 loads of big gravel that was used to put down for our future driveway.
We have several spring heads in this area, so it took more gravel than we anticipated.
OuCH!!! 17 loads is NOT cheap~
The grating of the road prior to the gravel going in.
We have had TONS of rain this year and therefore, it all turned to red, mushy, wet clay!! Yuck!
This is Danny making sure it is all done right. He had worked all night the night before and came straight out to the farm because the grating had begun and the gravel was starting. It was a good thing that he was there or there would have been a few mistakes.
How he stays up all day after working all night, I don't know...but he's a great hubby and daddy!
Here's the beginning of the gravel being smoothed out at the road.
This is the septic being put in. Danny was explaining it all to the kids as they watched.
Our future basement. How cool it is to see it at this stage. I've tried explaining this to the kids also, but I think it's too much for them to comprehend. Although, Lily did go down here and pretend where her room is going to be...and the other rooms.
This is the guys starting to dig out the basement. It had started snowing here...its hard to see it, but they worked in the snow for hours. How cool!! They were in nice tractors with heat and a radio...it was us crazy people who were standing out in it, taking pictures and watching!
A picture before we cleared some. We have cleared the top part of the property for now.
Lucas and Lily watching as they got started.
Lily and Lucas playing down at the lower part near the creek.
Here's our beautiful truck getting stuck before we put a road in. The spring head was letting a lot of water out and it had rained so much. We got stuck and had to call some friends to come and get us out. We missed our Girl Scout meeting where we were suppose to sing Christmas Carols at the nursing home....oops...sorry.
