Jeanne, love the name!!! Saw Horse is perfect
for the carpenter!!!
We moved to this farm in 1979 and it was in Oct,
and throughout the winter it stayed pretty much green and was impressed that the
township road that goes between the house and the barn did not get much traffic
( less than 5 per day). So thought on it and once said to a friend that it
was just such a green and silent Valley and then I got excited and looked up in
my favorite book about a passage with that thought in mind.Yep the Song of Hiawatha came through, Tawasentha- means green
and silent Valley, so hence our 65 acre farm in Ohio was named. Later I
added 67 acres on at auction due to my pending divorce. I put a
bid in and then another guy bid and I bid again and no other bids and I ended up
with a great piece of land for $9,200.00 and the guy that bid against me
apologized and said as soon as I figured out who bid and knew it was you I did
not bid cause I knew you needed a place to live. Wow neighbors are so
great!! I now have 132 acres total as I got my the farm in the
settlement plus all my horses etc. And I have not seen any ranches
around in the midwest, I think that happens mostly out west.
