Neighbors

Most people go years living in a home without speaking to your neighbors. Since buying the farm we have had several neighbors step up and have been the best. We had one neighbor in Utah, and she was the best ever and we miss her dearly. Maybe I can talk her into moving near us in Kentucky. I bet her and my mom would be best of friends. I need to make her some zucchini bread she loves it. One-time years ago we flew into Las Vegas to pickup my step son Landon. She picked us up and we stayed at her house for the night, she dropped us back off at the airport the next day and flew back. I brought her a suitcase full of mini zucchini bread loaves.

Anyways, yesterday my dad was using the walk behind weed eater to re-cut paths to the back of the property where we have a deer cam set up and the neighbor saw him. He thought that my dad was trying to push mow the pasture and brought his tractor over and started mowing the pasture. Dad offered to pay him for his fuel but he said to my dad “no, that’s what neighbors do.” I am so thankful that the neighbors we have there are so helpful. You never know what you are going to get when it comes to neighbors and we hit the jackpot. Since being there, we have had several times that neighbors have come to help or just made us feel welcome in Hillsboro.

In other news, Hunter put in his first job application today. That is a big step for him. He is pretty socially awkward but he is a hard worker. It has been quite the change for me with him not being here at home with me in Texas but I am proud of the young man he is becoming. He is trying to get a job to start saving up for college. One of the reasons he moved to Kentucky to the farm is so that he could become a Kentucky resident and not have to pay out of state tuition. He started college classes while he was in high school and has really done well. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he tries to navigate into the world of working.
