We have much to be thankful for!

Happy Independence Day, America!

Let's pause today to remember all the brave men and women that fought to give us the freedoms we still have and pray that we elect a leader in the fall that will continue to put our country's security and best interest at heart! May God bless the United States of America!

Historic Rainfall

Checking our rain gauge over the last two + days, we had at least 12.8". I decided to take a share a few photos of our recreation area and Saugahatchee Creek. I have never seen it this high before.

From our family to yours, we would like to wish you a very Merry CHRISTmas! Wise men still seek Him!

B.O.L.O - Be On the Lookout!

It's that time again...as we live in a rural area, we must remind ourselves that we have little creatures that live around us that, though not disturbed, will usually pose no problems to us. However, if we have animals or small children, we should exercise caution when going outside and walking around on our property. This timber rattler, though small (~16"), packs enough venom to make one of us very sick or one of our pets even worse. I am posting this because I have heard from several of you that you too have seen one of these in the last two weeks. They are on the move, looking for a place to nest as the weather gets cooler. Be watchful!

Turning the Page - Pioneer Day at Loachapoka

With Fall brings many changes, but one of these you probably didn't know was that Loachapoka has retooled their Syrup Sopping Day and Lee County Historical Fair into Pioneer Day! The focus will be directed on history and how things were made and done in the 1800s.

As in the past, there will be music and entertainment, but the best part is that the event is free! For more information concerning Pioneer Day, visit the link: http://www.leecountyhistoricalsociety.org/fair/index.html.

Please come out to support our local economy and have fun at the same time!

Welcome Fall!

We welcome the cooler temperatures, the beautiful colors of the leaves changing, and upcoming festivities! Take some time, if you are able, to get out in nature and unplug from technology and the hurry scurry of our modern world. I'm talking to myself too! One major benefit of living in SC is the peacefulness that living in rural Alabama affords. Have a nice weekend!
