It only makes sense that we would start our blog today. One year ago the year flood came. We had no idea at the time that the flood would turn historic and last for a total of 77 days. An average year will bring a flooded road for just about 30 days, the water tends to be 3 feet over the road to our farm. But last year we have 3 feet of water for about 17 days, then the real water came and the depth ways 5 feet over the road. No longer could we wade in and out, we had to paddle. This year the water is not even close to coming over the road.
With that in mind we are thinking of turning our little caretakership into a full blown farm. The land is beautiful, lovely and clay. Sticky clay. Our farm is at the end of a long 2 mile "driveway" that is often full of fisherman, hikers and some troublemakers. We love this place, we love this land and we love the history of our home.
Our plan is to farm, if not farm, homestead. With the history of the land behind us I believe we will succeed!
