We had so much excitement and enthusiasm that summer. The property is long and rectangular. You 100% could not see into the property. It is hard to believe now. Our goal was to get in. With a tractor we already owned and a bush hog (a heavy duty chopper that pulls behind a tractor), we went in. Bush hog first. We didn’t officially own the property yet. We believed from the very beginning it was our destiny. We worked for over a month not owning it. Sunrise to sunset on weekends and every night after we got off work.




We cleared the drive and front half of the property through fall. For every tree that went down there remained a stump. They were all for the future. But we did an amazing amount of work those months. The best part, we did it ALL by ourselves. We were sore and exhausted when winter came, but winter is a time for rest. That is exactly what we did. We talked and made plans and tackled a whole other level of hard work as spring 2020 rolled around.
