More acres, a walk and a musical

We left the house yesterday morning at 6:45 to drive to western Maryland to our land and to walk around and look over the 8 acres right next to ours.  Earlier in the week we got a call from Amy, our realtor for the land we just bought.  The 8 acres right next to ours just went on the market and she asked if we were interested.  We said yes!  After walking around on it yesterday we decided yes we really would like to have it and put in an offer.  Things moved pretty fast over the phone with the other realtor and the sellers.  They turned our first offer down but came back with a counter offer, we turned that one down and we came back with another which they agreed too.  We go to closing the first week in the new year.  So we will be the owner of sixteen beautiful wooded acres.  What we get with this new land is a better road onto the property, electricity already there with a meter and the brook we discovered on the property line is now all ours and right in the middle of our land.  Oh yes, and a better view!  We are so excited to have all this land to ourselves!
Here i am walking on down along one of the roads on our land.  It was only in the 20's and not long after it started snowing.

I walked around the lake this morning.  It was a cold morning at 25 degrees and cloudy but it was very still without any breeze at all.  Didn't see anyone at all until i was half way around the lake and then i saw quite a few people.  

I'm on the way back home on the path here.  If you look close you might be able to see a deer up ahead walking on the right side of path.

I walked 6.1 miles.

There was a special service at church this morning, a Christmas Musical called The Lost Star put on by the choir and other talented people from my church.  I am always amazed at the talent of the people in my little church.
