Access to shopping is something I hear friends around here talk about. Even before rising gas prices. It would be most interesting for we homestead listers who have homestead property to make a list of the ten most important things to us regarding location of home. I suspect that criteria changes after one has been in a place for five or ten years.

The only thing I seriously do not like about Heartwood is biting insects. It is notable that insect population was not on my criteria list in 1976. If it had been . . . ?
