Scott and I took a trip up to our 10 acres to see what was in bloom - mostly dogwood trees. Scott went in the old shack and found that someone had been inside and stole the metal objects that were in there and the old tub that was in the neighbors pasture near our property line had been stolen as well. I wish we had a way to keep people off our land but living an hour away makes that difficult. Oh well - most of what they took was stuff that we would have had to haul off ourselves but it would have been nice to have the selvage money for the metal for ourselves.
We are thinking about taking the truck up and pulling the old boat to the property line by the neighbors and blocking the old lumber company road in the hopes that they will stay out of there. We also need to hang a bunch of NO TRESPASSING signs. It's really sad that you can't trust people at all to leave whats not their's alone.

That is a lovely property you have there. The trees are beautiful and what a character filled shed. What a shame about the theft. My parents have a weekend property too with a shed. All their tools were stolen recently.
ReplyDeleteYour property is really pretty. I love dogwood trees when they're in bloom. It's unfortuante but in this economy there are people stealing everything they can get their hands on to sell for scrap.
ReplyDeleteYou hit the jackpot with the compost bucket. I'm glad they honored the price even though it was for something else. My compost container is an old plastic coffee can that I empty every day.
My old compost bucket was a recycled Electrosol ( dishwasher detergent) pail and that's cracked and about falling apart but it worked for many years.
ReplyDeleteI am big on trees with character, too. You do have a lovely property there. I'm sorry about the theft, but happy about your great deal!
