Going home for a visit, Soooo Happy!!!

Well we are leaving today to head for home. Our home town is Union, Ms. Which is a very small town. No Red lights, 1 grocery store, and very few shops. It's a nice quiet place to live. Everyone we know there is very down to earth people who love the country life. John and I own land there. We call it the Old Home Place because it goes back to his Great Grand Mother.She was an amazing woman because her husband passed away and she made it on her own with help of her children. They worked the land by growing Cotton, Peanut, raised hogs, and general farming.
When John and I lived there we always had a garden, We could grow some of the prettiest vegetables you ever seen. We didn't have cattle or anything, but We did have one horse, 2 goats, 2 ducks, 4 dogs and 6 cats at one time.I also had the most beautiful flower gardens, people would stop and tell me how pretty they were. We loved it there and hated to leave it for the Military life of moving every 5 yrs. But we both made the decision it was the best thing for us. There's not a day that goes by we don't miss it. I don't know about everyone else but we miss having our hands in the dirt. I guess you could say I never out grew playing in a mud hole. (LOL).
  We do plan on going back when John retires. Our new house hopefully will be done by then and we can start all over on our land. It has grown up so bad with weeds and brush, my flower gardens are gone and it doesn't look the same anymore. It's amazing how you can put so much time and effort in a piece of land and let's not for get love. As soon as you leave it, it's like it feels abandoned and just dies. One day it will be alive and beautiful again. John and I look forward to that day.
These are some photo's of when we started working on our land:
