Exciting news to share, we’ve purchased a little over two acres raw land and will be moving back to Maryland’s Eastern Shore and the Chesapeake Bay waters, near the small fishing town of Rock Hall.

As soon as we got back from Florida to do our feasibility study before settlement, we walked the overgrown property, and flushed out a herd of piebald deer (one is almost entirely white!) laying down in our deep thicket.  Wow!

Everything around was beautiful and quiet.  It was perfect for what we were looking for.

And, during that first day’s visit, the following three of my top favorite birds were there to greet us.  That was definitely the icing on the cake!  😉

The flash of red instantly caught my eye down by the pier as a male Cardinal landed to say hi.

A pair of Bald Eagles soared overhead.  I’ve already narrowed down the approximate location of their nest across the creek.

And, of course, the bird that started it.  A pair of Osprey were busy re-establishing their nest at a distance across creek.

The Missus was fishing and came over to greet me on the pier.  🙂

I think she likes me!  😏

Now’s the fun and challenging part of designing our dream house, hopefully breaking ground Spring 2022.  Until then, we’ll continue to do some RV traveling this summer to see our beautiful country and wildlife that I’ll be sharing!
