Easter Weekend

[skyhightree1]

This easter weekend was a great weekend for me we got to go back to where we built the house in the montains which is where I grew up the first 8 years of my life and spend every summer there till I was 18. My kids never truly got to spend much time up there they have only been a few times. The farm was my great grandparents and is owned by my grandmother that lives with me who bought it from her siblings. This is where I first learned how to drive a tractor and used my first chainsaw and more importantly learned how much I HATE square bales. I too this weekend got my great grandpas old wagon axles and wheels and put them in my cousins barn. We gave my cousins farming rights to the land as long as they keep it up. They are doing a great job. I am posting some pics of the land and farm. I had my wife and kids walk the lands just as I did as a kid they really enjoyed it however as much as I enjoyed it next time I am bringing the ranger and 4 wheeler lol

few on the road pics

Some beautiful countryside. Went to my dad's old place a few years ago. He had sold it about 10 years before he died but I use to hunt on it all the time. Heck I didn't even recognize it. All grown up with hackberry trees and brush. No pasture at all. Just a real mess. Broke my heart. Hang on to this place if you can... :nod:

Thanks. TB while driving there I told my family that I hate seeing old farms that were once thriving being grown up and not taken care of i really hate seeing that. We will hold onto it for sure we all value that place.

Thanks Sky. Brings back memories of my Grandparents place

you are welcome .. I tell you my grandparents and their farm have given me some of the best memories you could ever want. every time i look at farms i think to myself how much blood sweat and tears went into clearing and making it farmable land.

Great pictures Sky, the place obviously means a lot to you. I did not see any pics of the house that you built, I would certainly like to see that.
