Like it was planned!

  This morning bright and early a knock on the door from an interested party to purchase the backhoe and then another offer later to trade it for a skid loader.It always seems that an option presents itself at such times.Both thoughts will be entertained as I move forward in the tidying up of the Kewanee BHCO project site.I am unsure if this means I will be done with promoting and expanding BHCO for good or time has run out to complete the project or whatever.I am certain of one thing alone,a milestone has been reached of some significance that will probably only be understood when it is looked back upon.I am nervously excited to see what the future will bring.It seems as if a choice is too be made and soon. I shall rest Saturday and see what becomes of this very day.

and just like that

   The remaining two properties I purchased this year will be placed for sale,one being pretty much sold already.I am certain this will leave questions for many of you and I dont want you to feel alone in this.I too  am a bit surprised at the decision and will certainly be awaiting guidance as the days pass by.There are many loose ends to tie up and still much too do so my work is far from over but a new chapter is too be written.I only know for now that which I still have yet too digest myself.
  The final debts of monies that were gifted to me for use if needed will soon be returned and tidying up will begin.
   I am very happy that I was able to accomplish as much as I did physically and believe that without the help of my friends that this miracle could not have happened the way it has happened.I again am uncertain of the future events that I will be embarking upon but I am certain they will be interesting. I hope to finish the projects that are currently underway while keeping you  informed as things progress and hope you will all join me as the future presents itself for Black Horse Cherry Orchard.
  May God bless what has been created through me and my supporters and may he look upon his creation and be proud.
  It is at this point where I feel compelled to ask you give thanks in prayer for what has been done,not to me but to our Heavenly father.

so I have an on going problem with neighbor

  I have been quietly collecting data on a neighbor that is harassing me,the latest events include spinning tires through my orchard while handing out phrases like you cant prove its me  as well as bending conduit and tree tubes and even throwing wire and now metal into my orchard that normally isnt found until it gets wrapped up in the mower..I have put up what I called the naughty neighbor fence that is quite ugly to prove a point and protect my property.I also added some signs that will be available for viewing on you tube as well as facebook.I have voiced my concerns to the police chief and the city manager as well as some of the council members .I have also  begun the process of dealing with the states attorney and have been interviewing attorneys for a future battle to have this person brought to justice  as it is now evident the damage and harassment will most likely continue as it has been ongoing for nearly one and a half years.I feel the whole thing very unnecessary and do not understand why a 20 foot city buffer isnt enough to keep this person from entering and damaging both mine and city property.I guess we will certainly have the attention of the public as the naughty neighbor fence and signs are quite visible.I again ask persons to kindly get involved by contacting Luke Derue on facebook and asking him politely to stop as well as contact our local city manager,chief of police ,Henry county states attorney and or kewanee city council members to kindly voice concerns . As a human I will tolerate no more bullying from this Luke DeRue or his family.
 I leave you with all of this to digest and will post some things to youtube soon that will allow all the evidence to be viewed by the public.I have nothing to hide as usual .The truth is my greatest weapon and it is how I show the measure of my faith in the Lord.the latest incident involving the neighbors has cost me the use of my left foot for a while due to my frustration getting the best of me and now several days lost wages which I am not without blame as I kicked the slide that was blocking the city alley-way after Luke DeRue drove through my property,this caused the first damage to the foot unleashing a series of unfortunate events that eventually led to the foot being ran over by the new mower causing some more extensive damage.The appendage is currently being repaired and will be quite tender for days if not weeks but it will most certainly be fully functional!
