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
