Beauty and the Beast

What you are about to see is the now 10-years ago transformation

of a 3 to 4-acre piece of land adjacent to where my barn here at

the end of Magnolia Lane…---a transformation from “The Beast…” that it once was to

“The Beauty…” that it has since become.

Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the BeastFor some 10 years (from 1990 to 2000) I lived

beside a guy by the name of Danny, his wife, and 2-kids. He worked construction---remodeling, really, and he would bring home all this junk and just pile it up on his land. He built a lean-to addition onto his mobile home…then after his wife and kids left him, he brought another trailer to the site. It was then that I offered to buy him out…and his landlord, Edsel Galimore, whose daddy at one time owned all this land around Prices Fork, did agree to sell it to me for what I considered an outlandish price--- the sum of $19,000, but money well spent. I call what

follows here now “The Beast...”
