Yup! Still here

My buddy Harry made me realize that it's been a while since I last posted. No worries we are all okay. And Harry ,Thank You for your concern.
What can I say except things have been busy, and there are days when I just out right don't feel like being on a computer.

The weather has cooled off, boys are back to school and its been nice having time to myself  just to get out in the yard, walk around the estate and enjoy all the beauty it has to offer.
Last night, I was sitting at the top.of the garden, I was alone sitting and listening to the forest around us come to life with all of its nightly inhabitants. Listening can be almost deafening.

I hope you are all doing well, I have been making the blogger rounds and while I may not always comment I am reading and keeping caught up with you all.

Senior and I do have some good news to share, (no I am not pregnant) ... We finally have the ball rolling on our new house. Permits have been applied for and (kmock on wood) all legal matters have been resolved so soon they will be breaking ground.
It feels like we have come full circle since moving up here, we have been face to face with lots of adversity and have paid our dues. Now I am happy to say we are able to move forward in making the estate what we have envisioned it to be.

God is truely good.

Another Birthday and Friday Stuff....

I looked and saw it was almost a month ago since my past post.  I have no idea where the time goes, but we are all still here and doing fine. Senior and I have been busy with stuff around the estate, boys out of school, and have had other stuff to deal with and hope with all our hearts for an answer to our prayers.

ND turned 9 today. Can't believe my baby is getting so big. And since he is getting big, he wanted big boy presents...and just like his big brother he as well wanted his own Hennessy Hammock.  After the presents, Senior took both boys outside, and taught ND how to set his up. The three of them gave a new meaning to the term "Tent City" Seniors is the brown one in the middle. I guess that leaves me who needs to get one now....


And in some other news, all the corn has been cleared out of the garden, its been plowed and planted with our fall garden crops. We have one row of Mustard greens, green beans, and collards coming up. ND wanted a pumpkin patch, so he threw in some seeds down in the lower part, not sure how big they will get since we did it kind of late though.. 

In other news, My brother married that person he has been living with..uggggg, and I or anyone else in my family have not spoken to him since his hate filled emails a few weeks ago.

Watched the Fox debate last night, and the two who impressed me were Cruz and Kasich. However, I do like that Trump is not a politician but I need to research where he stands on the issues other then immigration yet and I would like to know what he thinks of  "Common Core", so my jury is still out on him...

I hope you are all doing well, I am making my way around the blogisphere to read and get updated on you all.
