Its no secret that I live in a small rural community (surely you've noticed my laments over the lack of available crafting supplies). Nevertheless, we still live in town. Even in a small town, there is traffic, noise and other people to contend with (made even more so with the annual influx of university students--suffice to say the town almost doubles in size). And I won't lie that there has been a certain amount of convenience--especially since my commute consists of a vigorous walk each morning. As convenient as that may be, we've always longed for the country life: a quaint farm house with a few chickens, a few pigs (maybe a goat or two; perhaps a cow eventually), a large veggie garden, a greenhouse and lots of green features (mainly solar heating and wind power--eventually). I even shared my dream online a few years ago (although we'd been thinking about it for a while).
Finally the dream has come to pass! In about a month or so, we'll be living in the country in an old farm house. Yes we'll be sharing the place with family, but that will be a good thing. The more hands, the better 'cuz there will be lots of work. Lots of work!

Wow, a big change -- can't wait to hear all about it. Will you start raising sheep and spinning their fleece too?
ReplyDeleteOh I'd love to eventually have sheep, but baby steps.
