🏑✨ Our little bungalow in Appalachia has a secret problem: swampy flood zone.

The back of our property has a small creek across it. During #Helene, the back yard flooded but no serious damage. Our yard is not perfect. It squishes when you walk and boots are a must but everything grows beautifully here.

Appalachians know that soil matters but "dirt" is our history. It's in our souls and bloodlines. I desperately tried to buy my grandparents farm but the owners prefer to leave it abandoned and unused. So, it is time to make my own history with new soil.

....and add several French drains.

Here’s to building a life where the land is ready for planting, the porch is waiting, and the mud is just part of the welcome. 🌳❀️

This song says it all: Buy Dirt
