Big Red, your property is lovely and I'm sure with those big trees in the Spring and Summer are just gorgeous. There was nothing on our property when we bought it, full of Wheat Grass, 3 feet tall. Like you we "developed" the land, planting cottonless cottonwood trees, building the house and DH built all the out buildings and put in the posts for barbless wire. Then came the gardens!!!!

Colorado isn't retirement friendly either, tho' we aren't there yet. The cost of living here is higher than in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky. The mountains here are beautiful, but I for one miss those grand old trees back home (Missouri).
