Pix For You

Thanks Chris, it is some wide open spaces, until you get into the mountains… the fox is a wonder to watch, we just fed it some old bread, we were sitting out on our deck and heard it walking around in the dark, got out the flashlight and saw him, he came running when he heard the bread wrapper. :) Well trained and well fed critter!

How is the turbine coming from the drill? Have you done some more tests using it? How did Bob wire it. I have a old cordless drill I want to test with, but I don’t know where to begin.

Beautiful. I’ve been eyeballin’ some of that Pecos land for sale, I dunno. I love the isolation out your way, but you can’t grow much by way of crops I reckon. Keep the pics coming, maybe I’ll come around!

Hi Hollis

Now if I could just convince my hubby that you can indeed bring life to the desert (sigh).

Thanks TheMajor’sLady, it IS quite possible to bring life to the desert. If you really want to leave the rat race, start planning now, decide what kind of place you want, desert, mountain, wooded, grassy, wet, dry… and GO FOR IT! :) You will rarely regret what you DO, only what you DON’T DO. :)

Agreed, Wretha. I’ve been searching the internet for property in various places–so far, West VA, VA, NC, MO, and now TX–and keep hoping my sweetie will look at one and say “Yes, that’s it!” but I’m not holding my breath (heavy sigh). Even though he wants to leave the rat race as much as I do, he’s a bit more hesitant. ;-)

TheMajor’sLady, It is scary to up and leave everything you know for something unknown even if it is a virtual paradise! We were lucky in that my hubby already knew about this place, so we didn’t have to look too hard. We just picked a long weekend and came out, looked around, got real lucky and found a place the first time around. I was for it and I was still nervous about the whole thing, but I don’t regret any part of this, now that I am out here, it’s the life I’ve always wanted to live and never though I would get to do.
