It stood on the corner of 228 acres which were laid out at the juncture of East County Road 64, a dirt road which helped to keep its windows always in need of a cleaning and county road 9, a pathed road where people drove too darn fast. It was a tiny white house with an old falling apart dairy barn and some horse stalls behind it, and equipment

And you wrote this wonderful and eloquent entry on only 4 and 1/2 hours of sleep? Amazing!

[imafarmgirl]

Hey, yeah, you're right. I never thought of that. It's strange the things I can bring myself to do, isn't it? Thanks for reading.

Lovely. Well written

[imafarmgirl]

Thank you.

As always, this was beautiful.

The conflict between land and developers is so, so sad. You're right. The land isn't spoken to or thought of. People just want to make money, it seems, and they don't seem to give a thought to what they're destroying.

[imafarmgirl]

Thank you.

It's sad how much value is placed on money when it really is nothing in the longrun.

I want so badly to preserve my family's country traditions.

[imafarmgirl]

I think it's important.

That's sort of like what happened to my childhood neighborhood. It used to be maybe 4 or 5 houses in total but now that's doubled. All the woods where we used to play are pretty much gone. My parents still live in the same house and I live in the same town so it's sad every time i go over there and drive right past where we played 'kick the can' but now it's a house!

[imafarmgirl]

That's sad too. I think it's happening more and more.
