We found this eagle sculpture at the Hemispheres outlet store in Sherman and plan to build a fountain in the front of the house to put in on. It is resting in our "garden" in front of the trailer for now. We just love to look at it and visualize where it will be, inviting folks at the front of the house to "Eagle Ranch". Can't wait!
Speaking of waiting. . . what an understatement! We are waiting for the appraisal to get back so we can break ground. Should be today. We'll see - nothing moves fast around here! In the meantime, it's COLD and with a little rain, we are mostly honkered down in the trailer working on the computer, writing Christmas cards or cooking. I am getting very creative with soups these days. I just made one yesterday with leeks, potatoes, spinach and ham. Delish!
We are looking forward to some warmer days this weekend so we can get some more things done around here. With cooler, dry days, we plan to do some more trimming up on the trees around here. Plus, we need to plant the thirty trees in containers, and the 15 smaller trees we just picked up from the USDA office in Bonham. We are hiring a friends ranch manager and crew to help us. The larger trees are too heavy for us to lift. We made out a schematic of where we will plant. And will probably mark the places with our orange landscaping paint. We also have to get more lava sand and an organic compost to put around the trees after planting. These are organic products we like to use but we will have to go to Sherman to find them. Hopefully all will be planted by Christmas.
More later! Vaya con Dios
