The Dream Has Come True!!

We have it all! At least, that's how we are feeling right now. Here's the house. This was taken the end of February and you really can't see any of the gardens, etc. If it ever quits raining, I'll be back out to take more pictures. There's a bedroom on the front side of the house and the living room (where the porch is). Everything else is to the back and looks over the gardens on the east, west and back side of the house.





To the left is Chuck's shed. He's so happy about that and already shopping for a tractor and loader so he'll be ready for moving snow next winter.

After the auction on Saturday we couldn't stop pacing and talking about it. So we decided to spend the day shopping for 'farm' stuff. First - a riding lawnmower, sprayer, all that yard stuff. Then he looked at a small John Deere Tractor with a loader on it. Then we went to the farm store to check out wheel barrows, lastly to the nursery and we bought 4 dozen strawberry plants. The strawberries will be planted on the end of the shed. There's a raised bed there with some hollyhocks in that I'll have to transplant but it will be perfect since it will get south sun all summer. My mouth is watering.

Don't have any pictures yet of the inside, but I will do that maybe this week. Not much to see except that huge farm kitchen. And where my sewing room is going to be.

The realtor was here last nite at 6pm to write up the listing and they actually showed the house to someone at 7. They were here for an hour while we drove around in the rain. Today at 2:30 they are showing it again. Hope this is a good sign.

About it for now. Have a quick throw I'm going to work on this week. I have it ear marked for the sun room and shouldn't take me long to do. That may be the end of my quilting until fall.

Thanks, everyone, for all your good thoughts and listening to me go on, and on, and on about this new chapter in our lives. We feel like we're 50 again!!!
