Home Sweet Home...

Our new home...Well the buildings are new but we've had the property for 8+ years...It is about time we moved and are living on our own place!

The bunkhouse is in the front and the Barndominium is in the back. I've spend a lot of time here the past 8 years but it still seems strange to be living here now! The stars at night are so big and bright and I love that I can sit outside at night as long as I want and star gaze...

Today we had storms pass us to the North and South, the skies were dark and ominous. We had a few brief showers, only about 3/10ths of an inch total. At this point any little amount of rain will help. As you can see our pasture is brown and crispy! I've had to start buying hay and we are under a burn ban too. 

After being in Michigan for 3 weeks and enjoying temps in the 70's I've had to acclimate and it hasn't been going well. I work really early in the morning and quit for the day about 11am as it's just too hot. 

Hopefully I will be able to share more photos soon....

It's been two months...

Still hard to believe she is gone, Love you Mom!!

Michael has celebrated his Birthday. He said it was the best birthday ever, he had friends over, they went swimming, played laser tag and at all the pizza they could eat with cookie cake for dessert. 

He started 6th grade and loves it. We are moving on with our lives just as Mom would have wanted. There isn't a moment I don't think about her though. 

I am in the process of getting things organized and straightened out. I recently bought the electrical supplies to start getting the electric in the barn. Living in the bunkhouse with the guys and 1 Tv is tough but so far we are managing! I can't wait to start living in the barndominium and having a kitchen! 

Some homemade bread sounds really good!
