Home Sweet Home

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret:

We cheated on our house.

But only for an hour or so.

This property enticed us with its acreage, a pond, 

and two houses.

We were mesmerized with everything about it.

The location, the layout of the property, the pecan orchard

and the potential of what we could do there.

Being in the county, you're pretty much unlimited.

It was lust at first sight.

We studied it on google earth, drove by it,

got excited about it and planned out how 

our lives would be living there.

I knew where the chickens were going to live, 

where we would pasture our cows,

where the garden would be planted and

 where we would hold Barn sales.

And the pond situation was even figured out:

A crack in the overflow pipe.

Oh, it was perfect.

Except one thing:

The house.

Another complete renovation.

The house is a 1970's two story brick

set on a concrete foundation.

The second house is smaller which would have been

a great shoppe for me

but, it too is on a concrete foundation,

thus NO PORCHES!

I still took pictures and we 

looked at it all with clear glasses

{meaning realistically}.

Too.Much.Work.

After we got home and looked at what 

we have  and have accomplished in our

home, we decided that we love it way too 

much to sell it and move on

to another big project.

We truly love our home and 

 created the perfect place for us.

We will stay firmly planted and continue to

make it our piece of heaven.

With the interior getting closer to completion

{there's still lots to do-trust me},

we will start working on the outside

yards and getting our fruit trees planted,

my potager designed

and build a small poulailler.

Once the upper level of our property is done, 

the Mr. can play with the woods and do

some clearing and maybe find a spot for a

little fishing hole.

So, it won't be too long before I do a 

Home Tour video {since I figured out how to

take video on my camera}.

Thank you for being here and listening to my

ramblings. I love sharing our story with you.

My next posting will

be full of surprises.

See you then!
