Jacksonville, Fl. St. John's River/marsh
 
It's all really happening!
Rolling Meadow's Farm view
Framed in garage apt. in the metal bldg.
More garage apt. framed, wired, windows and doors
and lights..getting ready for sheet rock, bathroom,
kitchen, and floors.  Lot's of work to do yet.
Windows and back door installed..this is the garage
apt.  Soon to be the music room, guest apt. and man
  cave! The daughter and son in law will live here       
while they build the house!
 
The building site..looking down from the wooded
ridge on the back side of the farm..

The back meadow at night..great pic for night time!
 
 
 
The "kids" have been on the property for 2 weeks..accomplished a lot!  The apartment they're building in the pole building will be ready in another 2 weeks.  The bathroom, kitchen and flooring going in after the sheetrock this coming week.  They have been working so hard but they enjoy their mornings and evenings watching the deer in the meadows and the sun come up over the ridge to the East and the beautiful sunsets behind the West rolling hills.   I can't wait until we visit with them in Oct. It's really happening!  I also can't express how proud I am of their efforts and my daughter's capacity for learning all of the building skills she has been able to absorb.  Wiring sockets last week! I am still landscaping and gardening***virtually*** on my pages on-line. Between FB, my photo pages, and Pinterest.  It's lots of fun, but can't wait until I can physically carry out some of these ideas!  Bis spater!

Georgia Sunrise over the Marsh....


The "kids" are on their way Northward..N.E. Florida to N.E. Tennessee..or Bust!  Just took off about an hour ago and Darian just sent this pic. from her phone..from the bridge that crosses the massive marshlands in coastal Georgia.  Some beautiful sights between here and there.  About half way through S. Caroline they head N. W. to Ashville N.C.   The Blue Ridges are so very beautiful..then a direct Eastward route to N.E. Tn. and the Cumberland Mtns. (Cumberland Gap).    

The first task at hand is to make the contruction trailer (a 30+ft. R.V. trailer) livable for the next month or so.  Just a few modifications to make my comfort prone daughter more.....comfortable!  :o)  Then Larry will finish the "guest" apartment/man cave he's already framed out in the steel building.  That's where they will stay through the Winter as they begin building their new house on the 26 acres we call Rolling Meadows Farm!  

Safe travels and lots of luck (good wishes and prayers) for my "kids"!
