So for swimming for humans, we have to go somewhere, like to the island. We can fish off the pier (I don't eat anything I catch due to pollution), but we have to pay attention and stay out of the water when the bacteria counts get too high. Not good for the doggies either. But it does look pretty, and we haven't been flooded in 50 years, so I'm not complaining!:D Oh and the mosquitoes will run me out of here or eat me alive one day! Lol!
| OMGosh! What a picture you paint!:eek: lol! As long as it makes a pretty backdrop for your house, then it's perfect, IMO! Timing sounds like the key factor for you because of the tides. I bet it is a very pretty place.
When my mom died 3 months ago, her home was given to me. The dh and I have to make the decision to move and fix it up. It's a great house, and it is only 2 miles from where I presently live. The only drawback is that it is located on a creek and the mosquitoes are HUGE and PLENTIFUL! I really don't think I could handle it. It would take a lot of spraying to control them and I wouldn't feel comfortable letting the Boopster out to play later in the day. They will literally swarm you. So, where I live now is still looking mighty good to me! We have a lake about 2 miles from us, but we never go there. If we had a boat, it would be a different story, though. Instead, we just bought an RV and are planning to travel away from the area a lot more. |
