This is our entrance to the Krooked Pine Farm. As you can see our namesake is very visible as you come into the place. Also, may Ol' Glory always fly above this great nation and our home.
This looking down to the new wellhouse. It holds our well pump and pressure tank.
Inside of the well house and its heating system for winter. The heater has a thermostat and tip over safety control. It has worked great. With the aluminum backed bubble wrap insulation it sometimes stays warmer than the house.
This is our tractor that is coming in handy. We have a couple more attachments to get, such as, the post hole auger so that we can start fencing our ten acres. Then we can get our livestock, goats. YAH!
We have a lot of sassafras growing on the farm. These are a couple of examples.
Sassafras is a very unusual plant in that it has three different shaped leaves on the same tree. First you have the three lobed leaf. Kind of looks like a dinosaur's footprint.
Then, it has a leaf that looks like a mitten with one lobe and also has another leaf that has no lobes but just a straight leaf. You can see both in this photo. Sassafras can be used for a couple of things. The roots can be harvested, dried and then used to make a type of root beer. The leaves can be harvested, dried and ground up for file that is used in Cajun food. Nice to know that we have it on the farm.
Just a little pictorial to update what is going on.
Thanks for visiting.
