We have a little blue house( dasblauhaus) on a hill in South Louisiana at about 157 feet above sea level, we moved there before Katrina, since we were tired of evacuating and worrying about leaving our art below sea level every hurricane season. It is small, but sufficent and we started to raise chickens, ducks, and geese, and plant a little garden. The property had a few fruit trees and berry bushes, and loads of pine trees that Katrina pretty much wiped out one day along with our old hickory that shaded the house. The local county agent suggested that we replant with citrus trees. Please click on the link below to find out more about our outdoor life on the hill.
