M...Linda --- Texas is big into St. Augustine grass. Most all neighborhoods around here have it for their lawns. It cannot be planted via seedlings, but you can either buy a pallet of sod that comes in layers to lay out and with a few good waterings over the next few weeks, it looks beautiful...or you can separate the sod into "plugs and randomly put them in the ground here and there and the runners will eventually begin to spread out. It is a grass that is very helpful in preventing soil erosion as well. It's soft enough to sit on, have a picnic on and stays green for most of the year, except for the harsh winter time here in Texas, but it always comes back in early Spring.<br /><br />And I'm with you on the weeding and thorns. Ouch!<br /><br />Mike --- You knew EXACTLY what I was going for!! I could not remember, for the life of me, during my writing that post what the name of the show had been...Home Improvement!! I LOVED that show. Everyone in our house would walk around doing the manly grunt, even us three girls. haha. I think he strinks that primal need to let go of the beast within when we see something we like...cracks me up. And, your chickens would love it out there!! Well, if any of the chickens will be able to survive the local predators. Deputy Dave and I have been having a lot of discussions about "What's Next..." This move is the hardest one we've ever made. But, the most thrilling.www.FarmLifeLessons.blogspot.comhttp://www.farmlifelessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-16510464170437496782011-10-29T05:31:22.014-07:002011-10-29T05:31:22.014-07:00I'm thinking you're referring to Tim Allen...I'm thinking you're referring to Tim Allen with the manly grunting sounds. He made a lot of money in his early years using that grunt in his stand up routine...and beyond. <br /><br />If y'all don't hurry up I'm going to have to move out there and begin clearing and maintaining that land. ;)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878152240514975518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-51173228944571178962011-10-29T05:07:34.171-07:002011-10-29T05:07:34.171-07:00Boy, do I know about regrowth.

I dislike weeding only to stick my hand in thorns.<br /><br />I'm very happy for you all. ♥LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-54258447989845723672011-10-28T22:04:46.579-07:002011-10-28T22:04:46.579-07:00My kids are now aged 24 and 21.

And yes, there is a private lake at the back of our land - it's about 15 acres of spring fed lake so the water is constantly running and feeding down onto the creek that runs through our property. I love it there. We often go boating in the little lake, catch fish for lunch and just have a wonderful time. I will be glad, one day, to have my grand-kids come to our land. We're trying our best to get started out there so we can get settled out there as quickly as possible, but I have a feeling that none of it will go very fast!<br /><br />Lanawww.FarmLifeLessons.blogspot.comhttp://www.farmlifelessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-28362672575692816152011-10-28T21:52:36.086-07:002011-10-28T21:52:36.086-07:00Lana these are such wonderful pictures.

It looks like there is a lake near your land. Will you have access to the water? Thanks for a great blog!Tim and Kari O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692327673634314221noreply@blogger.com
