One year later...

Well I see it has been nearly a year since I last wrote!  Spring is early this year and a lot has already been planted.  As for the 70 acres, we have been doing a lot of observing of sectors and discovering what is growing where.  Didn't accomplish a lot last year but feel we have come a long way in understanding the uniqueness of the land we purchased.  So much of it is already just perfect.  Trying to get a feel as to how we want to fit in without disturbing too much. The back corner has a beautiful stand of hemlock with a winding brook running through it.  It is like a hidden paradise.  So much to manage as the front acreage has diseased beech which needs to come down so as not to spread more.  Meanwhile the sun shines and I am ever thankful for all the blessings in my life!
