Hi! How nice to meet other folk who live close by. We aren't homesteading yet, but we're looking to buy land soon. We live in Ohatchee, AL.

Hey Brad....I keep telling you, Northeast Alabama is nearly identical to Maine,minus the SNOW...minus the blackflies..and folks say "Yes Ma'am instead of "Ahyah"....little tiny lobsters they call crayfish,and here, they can bury their dead in Winter..The BEST thing so far is that when you go to the supermarket, there are baggers who actually bag the groceries AND carry them out to your car AND refuse to accept tips because "IT'S OUR PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU"...died and gone to heaven...."Y'all" come on down and see us soon.
