we're on the hunt for our forever home.can you believe it !?
a place to stretch out, plant up and call our very own.
this little farm had nearly everything we need: a cute and liveable old house, great soil, a pond, over 10 acres of farmable land, it's certified organic and is in our price range.
its one drawback? the front half of the property has standing water, the kind that comes from underground during wet periods or when the river is high.
with the way the climate is changing, it seems bad weather is more and more common. in our soggy corner of the world, excess moisture can be a big ole issue so i expect this farm will be wet quite often.
while a little discouraging, winter is actually the perfect time to tour properties. without all of the green to hide their flaws, we see everything in glaring clarity.
i have waited a very longtime to realize the dream of owning my own farm!
wish us luck will you!? we can use all the good juju you can muster : )
Sending you Big Massive Good JuJu!!!! Your forever farm is just round the corner, I am sure of it X
