Good morning!
I almost logged in around 2:30am, had a nightmare that Joshua had fallen down a mine shaft. Musta been the news that "Baby Jessica" got married yesterday and it reminded me of that situation so many years ago.
Anyway, I had a bout of reflux, so I took a couple of tums and actually got back to sleep.
It was a reminder to me to really do my research before buying that bit of land, though.
That, and walking the property with a good sturdy stick to poke the ground.
We have almost an acre here, and we had been here almost 15 years before I ever went all the way to the back of the property! The lot is only about 100' wide but is more than 350' deep, and is cut in half by a drainage ditch that runs across the lot and down the hill. I hadn't been to the part behind the ditch, mainly because it is a sharp slope downhill, and there was nothing there but trees and bushes, which are close spaced in the spring and summer. When we had the lot surveyed three years ago when we were planning the remodel, I finally walked to the back to find where they'd put one of the corner markers. It's a hike back there, but even more so coming back UP the hill! ;o)
