Thirteen Things I love about The Swamp
As some of you know, I moved to The Deep South, Georgia a few years ago. While my home is in a lovely subdivision built in an old Pecan Orchard, my office is located at The Swamp! My former business partner owns an unoccupied home on two acres overlooking The Swamp. And while he hopes someday to move back into the home, it’s currently my Office! Here’s 13 of the reasons I absolutely love it!
-
Tranquility. It is so peaceful! It even smells quiet.
-
Natural, protected wetlands. Nobody will ever be able to build and obstruct the view!
-
The pair of Canadian Geese that migrate here to mate each year. They arrived about 10 days ago. We can’t wait to see the Goslings again this Spring!
-
Beavers and all 4 of their dams
-
Woodpeckers. We have 2 different species here, but I’m not sure which ours are. One of them is quite large!
-
The tall Georgia Pine Trees and Pine Cones.
-
No Alligators! Whew.
-
Our great neighbors. Everybody looks out for each other. They are the kind of neighbors that walk around to the back patio or just come in the back door. The kind of neighbors who bring you food when you’re not well. The kind that mow your yard.
-
Many, many kinds of birds: Crane, Egret, Cardinals, Finch, Wrens, Mockingbirds, Dove, Blue Jays, Black Birds, etc…
-
My cats, Gandalf & Grayson, love it here. They take full advantage of the expanded Hunting Ground!! Every day is full of potential for another new Purrfect Adventure!

The very best job I could ever imagine is one that would pay me to think… and the currency would be wine!
