… since we first saw the new Walkabout Estates Plus in person.
Yep, we were perusing the real estate listings and considering this location, initially having rejected it for not having some specific criteria, then a closer look seemed to contradict that, indicating that it actually met those criteria. The Girlfriend had the day off for the Juneteenth holiday, and I said, “You know, we could be out there by noon – why don’t you give our agent a call?” She did, our agent and the house were available for a walk-through, and, well, here we are.
While not everything has been hunky-dory, this was not unexpected for any home purchase, but really, the house and land far exceeded anyplace that we figured we’d ever live. Personality-wise, I’m somewhere between a ‘bitter realist’ and a pessimist, and this whole thing seems almost unreal to me. But I’ll cope.
Naturally, we haven’t been here a year yet – you’ll see that when it occurs. And I’m not into putting too much personal information online, so pics of the house aren’t really forthcoming, but you can see a couple of the finds that we’ve made while here, just for the sake of it – there have been plenty, and that’s largely why I started the ‘Estate Find’ weekly topic.
So we’ll go with a couple of my personal favorites: a hypnotic eastern spadefoot (Scaphiopus holbrookii) above, and of course, a pair of wood ducks (Aix sponsa) below.
I could post a hell of a lot more, but you can simply just skim backwards through the posts too.
But that’s as far as I’ll digress over it – we now return to our regular warped content…
