All moved in

Color inspiration for the exterior of the house.

Well, here we are. After 6 months of paper work and a short sale we were blessed to call this place home, blue paint, cobwebs and all. With lots of elbow grease, LOTS of paint and some skill this place will be a gem.  Recently I stepped out our front door after a long few days of being inside and opening boxes. It was whisper quite, except for the wind in the trees and the birds singing in the branches. I have found my spot. Getting in my car to drive anywhere is difficult. 
As I line my book shelves with Country wisdom know-how I can't help but dream about the not too distant future when we will buy our first cows, pigs, and yes turkey's.  There are moments when I catch myself in a blank stare  thinking about all the work that I will be responsible for and then I pray.  I pray that this will be the place that my children will learn what it means to work hard and seek pleasure from it. I pray that this will be a place that they will come for peace. I pray that our children will see a marriage that loves passionately and steadfastly, and that they see us enjoying each others company while we work.
I am really looking forward to the pleasure that I will have working along side Andy.  Some of the best memories I have have of us being together are not when we went to a fancy restaurant or expensive show, it was hunting together, and digging in the dirt together.  So here's to a new chapter to our short story while here in this little patch of green.

This was the first place I tackled.

Looking out the top floor windows. I love waking up in the morning and watch  the fog roll by.
