I've known about this since I was little but on my families farm lives several families who are all spread out. They have all the animals and the usual farming. Its situated on about 140+ acres. You can walk this property all day and see some of the most beautiful sights. It has it all. You will also bypass many hidden things if you aren't in the know. My aunt took me into the dephths of one of the hay fields and we came upon a giant oak tree. Hanging in that oak tree wasn't a nigger but instead a birdhouse. My aunt walks up to it, looks around and slides a bottom drawer out. It had a bottle of hooch in it. Good hooch. Some of the best made Moonshine in the world. We took a little sip and she put it back and said "I bet you didn't even know that was in there" and I said no bu tI do now bygawd. lol She said the old family members had shit like that stashed all over the place for when they were out & about and maybe needed a little sip.

We then made our way to a gorgeous babbling brook and there was a huge stump there. She pulls a little hidden door open on it and pulls out a bottle of homemade strawberry wine. We took a swig. It has a kick and tastes so good. It has a lot higher alcohol content than most wines you've drank and it will make you shitfaced if you drink very much of it. She put it back in the stump and we made our way to a huge pond. Giant fish swimming happily everywhere enjoying this godly summers day. A couple old fishing poles leaned up against the tree we grabbed and started fishing. They had old rooster tail spinners on them. We caught some humongous fish. We just sat there and it dawned on me that she just wanted to spend a little time with me. She's a young 80 years old but looks and acts 60. We talked about the old days and how fucked this world is now but nothing could ruin this moment. It was so quiet and peaceful that it was heaven. This is how & where I grew up. I wish I could've captured that whole day in a jar and keep it on my desk.

We walked over to where my great uncle used to live. His little homestead is still there well preserved. He was an obvious outdoorsman, as am I. In my family you either have farmers like this or well educated types and in some cases both. This guy was intelligent. You can tell by the way he built things that still work today. For example, in the background yo ucan hear this creaking sound. Its a steel pole going into the creek with an small boat rotor on the end spinning in the current and on the other end it goes to a spinning small windmill (4ft across) that is incredibly crafted. There's his essence like that everywhere. They were some crafty people. We left and went back to her farm where she hugged me and then grabbed my wife and grandbaby and took them off on an adventure to her flower gardens with old plants and flowers I've never seen. Its like something out of a Thomas Kincaid painting. The day before she spent most of the day with my sons and they said it was the best time ever. I love moments like this and living this particular kind of life. These people never asked anything from anybody once but always helped everyone else.

Back in the late 70's a familys house burnt down and my family took wood from their sawmill there and built a new, better house and never asked for anything in return. The old timers always helped each other. They're all the time bringing food to each other. As I spent my final moments there we sat on the back deck of their farmhouse and it hangs over a little creek and a little breeze kept us cool on this hot summer day. Its all shaded back there with majestic trees and wildlife teaming everywhere. I didn't wanna leave but I can go there anytime I want as she only lives a half a mile from me lol. There's a little road that goes by their house around the chicken houses and a barn and it leads to an opening where there are three giant oak trees. This is where they've always had birthday parties and whatnot. There's hand crafted seats everywhere. Its a magical place.I think its where some ley lines cross. You can feel this energy there. Its beautifully weird feeling. Butterflies and bugs and wildlife going every which direction the whole time. Its possible to make your own little Heaven here on Earth.
