KC1, still haven't found the f'n phone cord.  Paradise? Smells like a compost pile and there are ticks, snakes and fire ants. And lots of 10' tall poison ivy.

How many guests at once? I don't know, how many tents can you cram onto 54 acres comfortably? Manor house is 3 bed, 2 bath but the plumbing is screwed up (pipes were added in the 1920s, attached kitchen in the 1950s). Summer (pool) house is one room. My house is one bed, one bath, one office. I condemned the hayloft since it has seen 90 years of wood boring bumble bees.

Guest house (surplus fema trailer) sleeps 4 but the bathroom is tiny. So is the kitchen.

Winter wheat/soybean field takes away 6 acres. Pond takes away another 2 acres when at full capacity (as it is now). Gardens will cover another 6 acres in the next couple years. Farmstand, blacksmith shop, woodshop and chicken yard will take away a bit more.

Blowdown removal restarts tomorrow. I figure I can cut/stack 1-2 cords of oak a day.

I'm always here, forum members are always welcome to stop by. If you can find us, my brother in law got lost trying to find the next town over last night. Late to his own brother's burial.

We got the thunder, lightning and rain today. So I've been inside. Garden needed the water, so did the orchards.

Kristen, it's beautiful but dangerous. Once I get the orchards mowed and some scrub trees cleared from the pond bank (willows are eating the docks) the other concerns will go away. Except for the acres of privet hedge clumps, for which I blame the original 1790s property owners. Good for the bees, hard on bush hogs. And you can't kill it unless every shred of root gets pulled. And burned.

Still planning to have a "Pick-ups and Pin-ups" event here next summer, open to 72 and older domestic trucks, pre-65 domestic cars, and any era single and twin cylinder motorcycles. A for fun event, no trophies or other trash to drag home. Fire up the meat smokers, chill a few kegs, maybe raise a few bucks for the local kids hospitals. Just an informal goof off thing...

It was a beautiful weekend in 'Bama,   I put in little over 200 miles..mainly little country back roads.

90+ here in NW Georgia......

Still haven't had a nice day to ride in a long time but I got out for about an hour on the savage saturday. Supposed to get into the 80's tomorrow though so I'm gonna try to take the C50 out for a ride. My daughter thinks I'm gonna help her paint her living room but if the weather is good, I'm riding.

Precious little sunshine up here in eastern Newfoundland this Spring ... and gawddarned cold too ...

Well we have sun in the state of Massachsetts. Didnt get to go riding but that is ok. I will take the sun over the drizzly rainy overcast day anytime. Hopefully i will get to go out tomorrow for awhile and clear my head.
