The Spirit of Optimism

"Cultivate an attitude of happiness. Cultivate a spirit of optimism. Walk with faith, rejoicing in the beauties of nature, in the goodness of those you love, in the testimony which you carry in your heart concerning things divine."

More Information on the Property

 
 
This is the hill to the north of the pond.  (The pond will be off to the right)  This is where I will put my new house.  I was plannign on buildign up and out on the one we are in, but it will not be worth it.  There would be too much to do.  So the house we are in will be a guest house.




This is the house we will build there.  And landscape it pretty much the same.  The basement link on their website did not work.  To ck out the basement plan go to link above.


Tthis is looking down from the hill. (Where the house will be)

This is the horse barn.  It took us 2 large trailer loads to remove all the garbage.  Including an old freezer with oats in it...It was a mouse habitat.  There is a pasture fenced to the right.


This is a corral in front of the barn.  I will use this as a warm up arena.


This is left of the barn.  From here to the road I will put a 50' round pen, patience pole and small round pen to train horses.  Up to the left of that electrical pole I will put an outdoor arena.  Behind the barn to the right I will build an indoor arena.  Directly behind it and before the horse pasture we will build Dave's Dojo. 

This is outside of the barn (left)  To the right of this is another horse pasture.  We will plant trees next year in this and aroudn the property.  There is a ground well on the otherside of this pasture.  We will see if we can utilize it.  We are also planning on drilling a well as soon as I have researched where there is good water underground.


The garage by the house. It has a concrete floor. It also has a wood burning stove. Dave is excited to have his tools/shop in here. There is also a lot of room to store all our stuff that won't fit in the house. Plus the suburban. Behind it we will fence in more pasture.
