What a journey! From the big Bastrop Complex Fire in 2011, to rising from the ashes like a phoenix by starting all over from raw land to build my childhood dream: living on a farm with horses; 11 years later early retirement to start yet all over AGAIN from raw land in the high desert. Fled for our lives with 2 #GermanShepherds, 1 #AfricanGrey, 1 #horse and human. Almost 13 years later, settled in AZ with 2 related GSDs, 2 #ArabianHorses, 2 mini #donkeys and 1 parrot. #Pferde
@FarhanaMTS Poignant set of pics, since I remember the fire, know what you left in TX, and have rather close perspective on what you're building here! ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜ซ ๐Ÿ˜ด #Homestead development is not for the faint of heart!
@JulieNye At least after the fire I had a builder and lots of contractor help.... unlike here!
@FarhanaMTS
Darned straight. Around here, we often get the choices of (1) figure out how to do it yourself, if you can, or (2) go without. ๐Ÿ™„ ๐Ÿคจ
