The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.

New House

We have finally found a place that we can afford with a little land.  It's beautiful.  A little under two acres, with woods all around.  The house is a 1900's farmhouse that has been overhauled inside.  There is room for the goats and chickens, and every kid gets their own bedroom!

As we've explored the yard, I've found lots of fruit trees - one cherry, three plum, two pear, and three apples!  It's gonna be fun to try to keep up with the bounty.

I'm looking forward to creating a nice garden here too.
You drive through a marsh to get to the house.

First glimpse of the house.

Looking up the driveway.

The chicken coop in the back and part of the shed/shop.

Another view of the yard.

Love the back decks.

We have a working wood burning stove.
