This is what and where this blog is all about. I built this cabin in the woods, from the ground up, with the help of my father, brother and a few friends. I write songs here.
This my front porch, where I grill ribs, bond with nature, sit on my porch swing with my dog, play guitar and enjoy good cigars, sometimes with a delicious taste Irish whiskey:
This cabin sits on 62 acres of land which, I might add, I pay an absolutely criminal amount of property taxes on, just for the privilege of saying I own property with a cabin in the woods. I really loathe property taxes. Most of this property is wooded hillside, but I do have a little tillable acreage, a killer fire pit in the woods and some river frontage on the Bad Axe River.
I used to have to mow about four hours a week on my tractor, because I kept a couple of acres down by the river all maintained like a private park for my family. However, the 500 year flood of 2008 decimated my river frontage and even now prevents me from getting my mowing machine in there to do the work. I don't really want to show you any images of the damage, because it's a quite painful thing to see.
Needless to say, I now spend the better part of my time at the cabin. That's the just of this blog. It's all about what goes on at the cabin. Sometimes music, sometimes just relaxing, sometimes visiting with friends who drop over for an evening.
Hopefully this winter will be done soon so I can get over there and start enjoying the place. Snow is little deep right now. Hard to get my Geo in there.
