Maybe Tennesse

Two places I said I've always wanted to live, Colorado or Tennessee. Colorado is so expensive now.Well there may be an opportunity  to move to Tennessee in a couple of years. I say a couple cause there are some things to get done here.Looking at Savannah Tennessee and  it's along the the Tennessee river. I've talked to someone already up there and he said it's a really good town to live in. So as soon as I can get things together like tune up the truck going to take a road trip.

Also I have always wanted to open a trading post,just a post without using money. I think that would be good and it would help people too. I sound corny don't I? It's something to ponder.

Ok on to something cool. I'm making a makeshift Berkey water filter. I watched a video of how to do it and it would save me a lot of money.Two buckets and filter with spout. I can't wait. Also I'm looking into a woodburning stove. If this Tennessee move comes,going off grid is a big possibility.Save a ton of money. I'm getting a nice size camper/RV to live in til I can figure something about a cabin. Yes he will be there to help with all this.Long story but he got a dose of reality.

I am looking for ideas,people who have done this. The land I looked at online(and still may get if the payments are low enough) come next year, I'd be a fool not to snatch it up. The land is unrestricted which means I can park my camper on it without interference.The one I looked at has a space for a garden and plenty of timber. I'll be fun and to get away from this place. Savannah looks to have some recreation for a couple of old farts. I'm done with this place. It needs some TLC which I don't have the money to give it now.So I'll be selling to whoever has the patience.I'll sell as is.

My Marigolds are so pretty this year.

Some oils i'm using for my soaps.It smells so good!

I had an abundance of chocolate mint this year too.

This is a Wheeler bug,the sting hurts.No I didn't get stung.

• Well that's it,just hanging out at home,tending to chickens and the garden. Ya'll have a good evening!

Enough with the Cucumbers!

 Jeez I said this year well I'm just going to plant a few 10 cucumber plants and wow they took off. I've had cucumber salad,cucumber sauce,cucumber strips dipped in ranch. My chickens I know are sick of them.They quit coming around when they seen I had some. But all in all,the garden did well. Been eating out of it so didn't get a chance to put anything up. Oh well. Next year will be better. I am fixing to put in the fall stuff. I got my box full of seeds and I cleaning up the beds.

My babies are laying. They are small but they're Bantams. Sometimes I get 2

My marigolds were gorgeous this year.

So were my Gladiolus

Pretty uh?I've had fun this year despite the turmoil that's going on in the world.My garden is the only thing that has helped me .

And this big monster,going thru the terrible twos. The ONLY time he's sweet is in the morning and we do cuddles(that has to be done before he'll get out of bed)and then when those two front paws hit the floor that wakes up the devil.Ok for the maybe good news. Thinking about moving up to Tennessee. They have some unrestricted land for sale up  near the river.WHY? since I've got everything here going?,well unrestricted means I can go off grid .And I was going to put a nice RV/camper,until I could find what I can put  as in a shed/cabin there. It won't be for another 2 years right now. I'm just thinking and looking.I've taught myself well here and that was the point but I'm really feeling like a prisoner here in this state. I want off this hill but like you have read before,I have never felt like I belong here. I haven't seen my SIL and brother since March and its been hard. I do relay messages from Facebook to them thru their daughter but not the same. My SIL wants to come down here(we live 6 miles from each other)but I think my brother won't let her. It's been hard on us.I'm not getting into the virus thing or anything going on in the states but it's so sad that the human race has come to this. That's it.

Cucumbers!!!!!

The down pour and the pond I never put in.

This explains it.

Drying my chocolate mint..Ok well that's about it for now, everyone have a great weekend!
