Most folks find us boring and that's just the way we like it. To us it's anything but. This morning I was propped on the backporch rail with my morning coffee watching two wild turkey hens "babysitting" their broods of two dozen half grown chicks as they jumped around chasing grasshoppers at the edge of our tall grass meadow just beyond our chicken run. Overhead the cranes were heading for their morning munch on the oatfield at the end of our 1/4 mile driveway. Suddenly I hear the turkey hens cluck the alarm and all the chicks dive into the tall grass and my girls freeze from their efforts trying to get into my herb garden. I look up in time to see big female Eagle high in the thermals over the field. She moves on, the all clear is sounded and the peaceful scene returns.
I seem to recall it was 120 in the shade. There's no shade. We had a 63 Ford Galaxie convertible with AC. Even with the AC it was hot. My dad was worried we wouldn't make it through the valley so we sometimes shut the AC down and stopped to check the radiator. We never broke down but plenty of other cars didn't make it. There's a nice little oasis type area at the end of the valley but even there it was sooo hot.
Not a problem
The guy trying to sell the field next to me is advertising it as 4.2 acres. Zoning requires 1 acre lots minimum. Turns out, he's counting the ground all the way to the middle of the road, without that, it's 3.8 acres. Only 3 homesites as opposed to 4. Deceptive advertising for sure. How do they get away with that?
The look of character.
They won't know it's you.
Yes, I am in FL. We are looking to purchase a home, or land and put a home. At first glance, it seemed we had some good options, however, after careful investigation it seems our options are ,much more limited than we thought. It used to be illegal here to misrepresent property. Now, not so much, or it's too costly, and time consuming to sue the seller. Too, the county politicos have allowed misrepresentation at times because it lined their pockets.
