Are you guys open to opportunity if it presents itself? Just curious, cuz our place was an unexpected find. We were bored one day and were looking at model homes- cheap entertainment- daydreaming about the pie-in-the-sky house we wanted when we heard about this property. We drove out, fell in love at first sight with it and the price was right (It's about 100K cheaper to build in NASCAR county than the county we were living in). We were completely unprepared in every respect but we vowed to do whatever it took to buy this spot. So we did. And we have to pinch ourselves everyday.

Yes, we are...we keep our eyes open all the time!

Funny, though...I just feel like it will happen someday, in the Lord's own timing. Anytime I have a vision of something so clearly, it may take years to come to pass, but it does eventually. Like this house. You know, I sketched out this house we're in now YEARS before we even found it. Except it had 2 baths and I kept saying in my prayers "...but I don't really have to have that second bath Lord...I can make due with one."

I ended up with the exact house I drew, except it only had one bath! LOL Oh me of little faith!

I really do feel like I'm in some kind of waiting mode right now...and I'm pretty comfortable, so it's ok. But someday, I just know. It'll happen.

I really would like to have just a few more chickens. I love them so much and would take really good care of them. And now I have people asking me if I'll sell the eggs. My librarian friend that I work at the church with, for one...she said her husband, who has lymphoma, just loves them. We are going to make a point to just give her some now and then...a half dozen at a time...Matthew delivers them to her, since he works so hard caring for the chickens.

I don't so much want to sell them, as just have something to share with others. I so rarely have anything "extra" to pass around to people...so when I get extra, I like to spread it out! Kinda like "You know, I just think the world of you, have some eggs."

LOL

I've got chores to do too...feed the chickens before it starts snowing...make sure they have plenty of water. Normally this is Matthew's chore, but I have a full-body insulated coverall. They were my mom's...though I have no idea what she has with a pair of them, she never goes outside in chilly weather!
