Col and I decided this weekend to sell off the 50 acres next door. We bought it as a "buffer". For the last 10 years our closest neighbours have been about a kilometre away..... I have to bushhog the whole shebang each year and with diesel prices on the up that may end up as a luxury, rather stick to the 60 acres we have the development on. We have not utilised it for the last ten years apart from the cottage which we refurbished for WOOFer quarters. Put some money in the bank and buy that TLB I have had my eye on for quite some time now | |

Had a great weekend, stayed inside because it never went above -40° and watche football. Gaining daylight and even went through the seed catalogues. -44° this morning out at our place, but it should be warming throughout the day. I love our woodstove. | |

warmer than we expected today...24 above. Cloudy, damp air makes it seems colder. Hey Rob, perhaps you and Kez should buy Al and Coleen's 50 acres... | |

We couldn't buy anything for a few years. It sounds like you need to sell now. Besides I'm not one anyone should count on for anything right now. Our lives and plans are less than firm. It could be fun though. | |

The thaw continues here in NH, should have close to another 50F degree day. Looks like really nice weather down on my land as well. However, we all know winter is far from over. | |

Member Posts: 20 | Took the Maxter to the vet and he had healed but had infection under the scab. Vet kept him for overnite and I pick him up tomorrow. I may as well get ready to grovel cause he is going to be one mad little guy. Run bunches of errands then called the Pulmonary Dr since I hadn't heard back from the ultrasound on my leg. It was ok...no clots so I can get back to the exercising. Cloudy here today with rain showers intermittently. The Muscovy ducks are the only ones enjoying this. Mud is knee deep. | |
