My Farm Plan

My farm plan has been getting some hits which is cool. I plan on moving to Arkansas after my sons graduate high school. Why, you may ask. I think in the near future energy prices are going to be out of reach for everyone except the wealthy. I want to be able to grow a garden without having to water it all the time like I do here in the Southwest. I want to be able to chop down a tree on my own land for heat if I need to. An added benefit is I will be close to my father, mother, brother and sister. Hopefully I can get one of my kids to move out with me.

In Arkansas I think is a great place to do what I want and to be able to live in the mountains. A southern facing mountain or hill is what I want. With a spring or a creek. I want to be west of Russellville which is the location of the Nuclear plant. The recent Japanese earthquake/ tsunami  has proved the need not to be under the prevailing winds of a nuclear plant. I will probably settle for south of there also in the Ouachitas. Too many earthquakes in the Ozarks. The earthquakes in the Ozarks are natural or caused by the natural gas company pumping out the gas. Crazy. We are our own worst enemy sometimes.

I have been perusing some real estate companies in Montgomery county and the city of Mena. Mena has the cheapest land prices.

Ahhhh Arkansas

Kind of off subject a little. When I told the girl that was living with me I planned on moving to Arkansas the first words out of her mouth was “It gets cold there.” I knew right then that she was probably not going to move with me. She likes it here in the warm Southwest. For reasons other than that we split up. When I found my next girl that was a friend and the first words out of her mouth was that she wanted to retire in the Ozarks I thought we were a match made in Heaven. Now that has fallen apart. Don’t ask me why I don’t know. She won’t answer my phone calls or my emails. I have logged on every day since March 15 hoping to have another email from her. What can I do she lives in Florida. I am depressed.

I am still moving to Arkansas but that is still 7 years down the road. My sons have to graduate first.

31 March 2011 update: The girl from Florida called I am not depressed any more.

15 April 2011 update: Here we are 2 weeks later in the same situation as a month ago. The girl that is my friend is not answering emails. I am done. Not depressed. Just done. Still moving to Arkansas.

17 April 2011 update: She finally emailed me and said she cannot do a long distance relationship.
