Minnesota entirely bans whitetail farms. It sounds like incredible government overreach to me. If anyone has thoughts I’d love to hear them.

🏡 SOLD!!

This transaction threw us a few curveballs, including some additional appraisal requirements that had to be completed on a tight timeline.

My seller was absolutely amazing—doing whatever was needed to get every project finished before a long holiday weekend and an out-of-town trip. It took flexibility, quick problem-solving, and plenty of teamwork, but we got it done!

✅ Projects completed
✅ Appraisal requirements passed
✅ Closed on time

Sometimes teamwork really does make the dream work. Now, on to the next! 🎉

🏡 BUYERS—IT MAY BE TIME TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.

Interest rates may not be where any of us would like them to be. But how long do you put your plans on hold while waiting for the “perfect” rate—and who knows exactly when it will arrive?

One thing has changed: buyers have more opportunity than they did a year or two ago.

Inventory is growing. Sellers are becoming more motivated. And in many cases, buyers may be able to negotiate help with closing costs or a rate buydown—whichever makes the most sense for their situation.

We’re seeing especially good options in the $200,000–$250,000 range, including new construction and homes with small acreages. Finding that kind of selection at these prices was nearly unheard of not long ago.

No, the market isn’t perfect. But waiting for perfect can sometimes mean overlooking a very workable opportunity.

If you stepped away from your home search because there weren’t enough choices—or because you assumed buying was out of reach—it may be worth running the numbers again. A conversation with a trusted lender and a fresh look at today’s inventory could be pleasantly surprising.

Ready to see what’s available? Send us a message. We’ll help you explore the possibilities without pressure.

Apparently word has gotten out that the Land Chick deck has a new neighborhood café. 🌸

I planted zinnias and nasturtiums in pots this year, hoping to add a little color—and today this tiny customer stopped by for a Friday lunch.

It’s funny how something so small can make your whole day. Here’s hoping your weekend brings a few unexpected little joys, too.

Happy Friday from my little corner on the countryside! ❤️ - Lisa

I Miss the Windmill in the Road

It’s probably been about 10 years since the old windmill was removed from the middle of a gravel road northeast of Winston. If you ever traveled that road, you probably remember having to ease around that awkwardly placed landmark. It always made me smile.

What many people don’t realize is that this wasn’t just an odd place for a windmill.

The road—today’s 140th Street, northeast of Winston—was once the first maintained road through Colfax and Jefferson Townships in Daviess County. More importantly, it formed part of the historic Jefferson Highway, one of America’s earliest cross-country automobile routes.

Established in the 1910s and formally organized in 1915, the Jefferson Highway became known as the “Palm to Pine Highway,” stretching from New Orleans, Louisiana, all the way to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Long before Interstate 35 carried travelers north and south, motorists crossed Missouri on roads like this one.

The windmill originally stood beside the roadway, providing water for horses traveling between Bethany and Cameron. As the road was widened and improved over the years, the roadway gradually wrapped around it, leaving the windmill standing in the middle of the road for decades—a quirky reminder of an earlier era.

Eventually, progress won out, and the windmill was removed.

For those of us who remember it, though, it was more than an obstacle in the road. It was a small piece of Northwest Missouri history that made an ordinary drive a little more memorable.

Who else remembers driving around the windmill?

There comes a point when rebuilding isn’t enough.

In the summer of 1993, Pattonsburg experienced something it had experienced before, the town flooded - and as usual, families cleaned the mud from their homes, salvaged what they could, and began putting their lives back together. But then, only weeks later…It flooded again.

That second flood changed everything.

After generations of rebuilding in the same floodplain, the community made one of the hardest decisions any small town could make—not just to rebuild, but to relocate an entire town to higher ground. Schools. Businesses. Churches. Homes. Lives.

Some buildings couldn’t be saved. Others weren’t practical to move.

But a select few homes were carefully lifted from their foundations, transported to New Pattonsburg, and given another chance.

This house was one of only 19. Today, more than thirty years later, it continues to stand as a quiet reminder of one of the most remarkable chapters in northwest Missouri history.

And here’s the rest of the story - this remarkable home is looking for its next caretaker. Some houses are simply places to live. Others become part of a community’s story.

This one has already lived through more history than most homes ever will, yet it still has plenty of life ahead of it.

Pt. 2: One of the “19”

Sometimes the smallest buildings tell the most charming stories. Yesterday I shared the story of one of the 19 homes that was moved from Old Pattonsburg after the Flood of 1993. But while studying the original photograph, I noticed something hiding in the background. This little building.

If I’m seeing it correctly, I believe this is the very same cookhouse that still stands beside the home today. Inside you’ll still find the old chimney with its stovepipe opening.

What’s neat to think about is that when the decision was made to move this home to New Pattonsburg, someone also decided this little building deserved to come too. It wasn’t just some lumber. It was part of the family’s story, the house’s story.

Cookhouses like this once played an important role on many Midwestern properties. They kept the heat of summer cooking out of the house, provided space for canning and butchering, and became the setting for countless family conversations.

More than 30 years after the move—and more than a century after it was likely built—it still stands. History isn’t always found in museums. Sometimes it’s just sitting quietly in someone’s backyard.

Do you know of any other random buildings that were moved after the flood? I’d love to hear your stories.
