So, suited up this morning and headed over to my mother's house for my weekly hot threesome with my snow blower and shovel. :lol:
Noticed her friend one house up and across the street hadn't had any real snow removal done the past couple storms. Apparently she doesn't have any family in the area, and is getting too old to shovel anything other than light stuff. So once I was done with mom, gassed up and headed over.
While I was dealing with that tundra, a car pulls up with a woman driving. One of the neighbors a few houses up thanking me for helping out. Well, after seeing the old farmhouse she pointed to when I asked where she lived, I had to ask. Answer was yes!
She's 7'th or 8'th generation from that farm, and mentioned finding a coin from the 1800's on the surface in a bare part of the yard. After getting home, I looked at the area in GIS mapping and am even more glad I performed an act of kindness. Most of the surrounding farms (including the largest that's on my permission sheet for this year), a street, and some land shares their last name. In between are other old houses as well I hope to hit. I'm real happy about this one. Could lead to a lot of acreage to hunt in an older area of that town.
Other permission came from my mother's friend. Not sure what was on that lot before the current house, but there's one big ol' tree on the back corner of her lot, and it's between these farms, barns, and houses. You never know.
Hope everyone isn't too stir crazy. Hopefully in a couple weeks old man winter starts loosening his grip. I snapped a couple quick pics of the the farmhouse and barn.
