Making My Home A Haven is important to me. Sharing homemaking skills. Recipes and food. Bible Studies. This is a treasure chest of goodies. So take a seat. Have a glass of tea and enjoy. You will learn all about who I am.
There has been a lot of changes here over the past 6-7 years. We are reclaiming the land. Reverting it back to what it once was. Part of Lake Kissimmee. Pushing in the ditches from the sod farm, leveling out the land.
We once had miles and miles of paths here that we could travel MOST of the year. Now the land is under water in most places.
It is a continuing process. I also continue to pick of years and years of trash that was just left here by previous owners and their workers.
Updated about 4 months ago · Taken at The old sod fields
Just a few years ago all of what you see here were sod fields. Lake Kissimmee has taken back much of what was. The birds, including the Roseate Spoonbills are coming back.
The section you see here is only a small part of the acreage being re-flooded. We’ve lost miles and miles of roads and service paths. I do miss those drives.
The next group of pictures is from a larger area and was started earlier. The water is where the sod fields once were. We were once able to drive all over the fields.
Now we can take a kayak.
This is a section of Bobby’s Cove that we have easy access to. With all of the restoration that has taken place in the last 6 years, we are limited in how much we can see here.I will try and edit these pictures at a later time. I am having trouble getting things to work.

This is from my Our Neck Of The Woods Facebook Pagehttp://www.facebook.com/sarahsneckofthewoods. Our Life. Lake Kissimmee State Park, Rolling Meadows Ranch and Allen David Broussard Catfish Creek Preserve State Park, Lake Wales, Florida. Where we work, live, play, cry and most of all Love each other.. Come and sit a spell. Danny and I share so much laughter and tears here, working and living here as we do. I needed a place to start downloading pictures I have taken over the years here. I need to write about them. I spend so much time wishing I was still living in Colorado that I forget what I have here. We really have a great life. I’m praying that once we finally get into the Cracker House things will get better-UPDATE- We are in the remodeled State Cracker House and it is better, although there are times I miss the RV. We lived it in for 5 years. It was home. It IS OURS…..I am also posting about Country Life in General and Florida in particular. Danny is a park ranger at Lake Kissimmee State Park. I volunteer there. I am a former teacher who misses being around kids.… I am mom who lost her only son, Bobby 9 years ago. I am a wife. I need to find me again. “Our Neck of the Woods” refers mostly to Rolling Meadows Ranch, were we live. It joins Lake Kissimmee State Park, on one side and Allen David Broussard’s Catfish Creek Preserve State Park on the other. We work mostly at LK and RM.
From Sarah Now. : Our Neck Of The Woods, Is all about Our Life in the last 10 plus years. All about Our area and it’s history. About Life in Florida. It is about Danny and Sarah. Life at or around the park.
