We found our small "bit of heaven:" rolling grassland, watered, and sparsely treed. There was only one obstacle, "our bit of heaven" was under contract by one of the executives involved in oil production in the Gulf of Mexico with BP. Of course neither one of us foresaw the out of control events soon to unfold. We learned of the disaster at the same time we heard there was a contract ahead of us set to close at the end of May 2010 (if the oil disaster came to a quick resolution). We were heartbroken! Our "bit of heaven" was under contract and an ecological disaster was unfolding in one of the best fishing spots in our neck of the woods. Then we heard from our Realtor who had heard from the Seller's Realtor. Were we still interested in the land because the oil executive was in "trouble" and might not be able to close as scheduled at the end of May because of his relationship with BP. We held our breath... The evening news was full of the transgressions of BP and the others involved in the drilling, safety, etc. of the disaster. Each day brought new revelations. We held our breath... Finally June 1st arrived! We received the call from our Realtor, TJ, "It didn't close!" Our contract was now in effect and we were closing at the end of June! So that's how Little Bluestem Farm is related to the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf.
