Leap Day February 29, 2016

                      This is the final entry for the history of Ross Brothers Farm.  In January 2016, and after 16 years the property was
                      sold for $24,000. We had completed  all that we set out to do. Now only time will generate the history of the farm.
                      It was not easy to say good-bye to 16 years of memories, but  age and time had taken its toll. As you read our story,
                      remember it's history only because it occurred, we lived it.

                      May God Bless This Piece Of Land And Watch Over All That Set Foot Upon It.

                      March 1, 2016 --  But what about the monies from the sell of the farm?  Follow this link ->  Ross Creek Ridge

                       Ross Creek Ridge 2016 - 2020
                       
                                              
                       This is the first entry for Ross Creek Ridge. The property in Magnet was sold and the new story begins here in Sulphur, Indiana.

                        Our new address is 6615 S. Smith Mountain Road. A county road located just off of Interstate 64 and SR 237.
                        And so, a new chapter begins!

                                          
                      Leap Year February 29, 2020

                      April 1, 2020
                      Yes, it has been 4 years since the history of Ross Creek Ridge has been updated. Why? Because who knows what tomorrow will
                      bring.  I bet the Apple, Chestnut and White Pine trees in Magnet are at their peak and must be huge now. I bet the iris, Texas
                      sunflowers and grapes have taken over. So, do I miss our Magnet property? Yes, BUT I don't miss cutting the grass, 
                      high taxes, and property owner covenants. 

                      I guess the reason for this update now is simple: 2020 Covid-19 World Wide Pandemic.
                    
                      In the past 4 years we transformed a heavily wooded and forested area into a new home away from home. We have 
                      electricity, either collect rain water or truck it in from English. We moved a number of trees from Magnet to here. So, if you 
                      find any species not natural, then they came from the farm.  On a side note, grandson Jakob did plant a number of 
                      white pines in the spring of 2018. We also transplanted Virginia pines from Kevin's Scott county property and from the Georgia.
                      
                      A few years back, a 30 foot camping trailer was purchased and moved in. A nice porch and deck was also constructed.
                      Occasionally, Barry does come up to shoot. Sis still despises the country. However, she does enjoy the short ride to French
                      Lick, Indiana.) 

                      During the spring of 2019, 10 or 15 guinea hens were purchased.  The last I saw of them, they were running up the power line cut.
                      During the winter of 2019 and Spring of 2020, a tool shed was constructed along with a chicken coop. It is really hard to believe
                      4 years have come and gone. 

                      Here is a depiction of the plants, trees and buildings as of today :   1      2      3       4
