Living the country-life in Alabama is great. Today was a Saturday where I ended up not having to show any rural properties. That allowed me some time to work on some chores around our family land.
My son and I checked our newly-planted food plots to see if the rain had helped the seeds germinate. We saw thousands of tiny green shoots peeking through the sandy loam soil. While we were observing the progress in one of our plots, four deer came to check for themselves. It was neat for us to drop to the ground and watch them for a moment.
Later I had to tackle taking down a problem magnolia tree that had grown into a powerline and also remove a dead crab apple tree. After an hour of cutting and hauling limbs, I could check that off the list.
Around 3:00 I took some college students bass fishing. It was a fabulous day to be on the water. We caught over 100 bass among the four of us. One of them fell out of the canoe, which added some more fun to the day. The fish were biting so well that on one occasion we had a "Quad"; all four of us had a fish on at one time.
This evening the family played some games and had a nice supper together. We watched Auburn beat Mississippi. SEC football is always a part of an Alabama Saturday. After bathing the kids and putting them to bed, I spent an hour or so practicing my new mandolin.
Enjoying the outdoors and caring for land is not just something I do or write about; my family lives it. We enjoy all that God has created outdoors (with the exceptions of a few bugs, snakes, and spiders). I help people buy and sell rural land because I love land. If you are in west Alabama and would like to purchase or sell hunting land, farmland, timberland, or recreational property please contact me.
