We are almost finished cleaning out the old house. I have to go back and let the carpet cleaner in. We had so much help on moving day it was amazing. Even in the rain, we had more than 10 adults and teens and several "helpers" under 10 too.
But this is where we live now. It is so nice, I just don't know what we did right.

| From the road. The boys are looking forward to mowing with the cool riding mower. |
 |
| The driveway takes you to the back of the house. |
 |
| Then to the side of the house, but you are facing the road again |
 |
| Then finally to the front. |
 |
| the front of my new home |
 |
| from the front you can go into my secret garden area |
 |
| you cross a bridge to get there |
 |
| This circle of trees and garden used to be moated in. This is where the fruit trees are. |
 |
| Rebecca and Joshua's new house. It even has a bunk inside. |
 |
| The chicken's house. It will have to be excavated... |
 |
| ..as well as the goat's house. I haven't even gotten back here yet; too many stinging nettles right now. |
 |
| This is the 50x50 foot fenced garden area. It too will have to be given attention before planting time. (this is on the left side of the driveway as you come in.) |
 |
| It was designed by the owner so it definitely has its quirks. such as the huge false wall for the electronics. I would prefer bookshelves. |
Some other quirks we have discovered thus far: The bathrooms do not have any drawers or medicine cabinets, yet each is equipped with a phone jack. ...priorities.
Jonny, in his optimistic way, is sure this is just going to ruin us financially. I, on the other hand, think that whether we live here a year or never move again (my hope), this will be good for us.
