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!
