Saw Greenbriar (or pokey vine as I call it!)

OK I have had my feet, legs and ankles completely torn up by this vine on my property, and I finally found what it is! Turns out it is actually quite useful, so I guess I will stop hating it lol. Saw Greenbriar grows like crazy on my property and is very much like a chain saw when it gets wrapped around my ankle or foot.  I have a bunch of deep cuts thanks to this thing!  Turns out it is the plant that is used to make root beer... who would have guessed!

We are here...

I haven't been posting much, but it is only because I have been SUPER busy! We are here, living on the property, and we love it! It is a bit rough, the only dry spot we found is on the very back end of the property (a 648 foot trek through the forest) and while our neighbors to our right are completely awesome, our backside neighbor is...well, a backside lol.  He is a complete jerk and we are hoping he moves to Palm Bay like he said he was going to be doing, QUICKLY! I will post pics soon, we have been working hard to get everything in place and trying to stay dry!

Water is *mostly* gone!

We went back up to the property Friday 7/20 and the water is mostly gone! YAY

I took down the for sale sign and put up a no trespassing sign, and marked the back side of the  property.  There is still some water in the center of the property, but it is showing me the area where the pond needs to go, and it isn't causing any serious problems.

We roughed out the goat area and cut down some of the small trees in it so we can get some more light in there for growing grass and wild flowers for them! Here is my hubby chopping down one of the small oaks:

he decided the chainsaw would be much faster! 

and it was, except the trees have so many vines wrapped around them that we had a super hard time pulling down the trees after they were cut , it was kinda funny because we would  jump back expecting it to fall, but it just hung there lol.  So now we have to get the fence up for the goats and the shed put together for our stuff! YAY so ready :)

Flooded :(

Slight setback - we visited our property last week, and it is flooded in the front.  There is 6-10 inches almost completely across the front of the property.  and the mosquitoes are like almost an inch long :/  on the plus side, we don't have to worry about the water table for the well point we will be driving, and we know where NOT to put the goat pen!  back to the drawing board lol

It's ours!!

Well, we got the last bit of paperwork in the mail on Friday - WE OWN IT! YAY!

Now moving all our stuff.. lol

WOOHOO!!

Almost done!

Paper work is on its way to the title company, mortgage deed should be recorded and on its way to us tomorrow!!
