Will be interesting to hear about your move, how I envy those of you who are making a big move to a simpler life.

Same here. Keep a journal or something, Mrs. Ranger, and you can regale us with your adventures!

I'm rather stuck in a city now, due to hubby's job. But we are looking at houses on acreage in order to do some gardening and sell our monstrosity that is in a tract neighborhood. It will be nice to get away from neighbors packed in like sardines, that's for sure!

“Keep a journal or something, Mrs. Ranger, and you can regale us with your adventures!”

LOL! Well here’s my first entry:

Thank goodness I was sitting down when I started making calls to the local nurseries up here! $75-90 EACH for a 4-5” spruce????

Well, scratch *that* plan. ;) Plan B: Call local nurseries when I go down home and pray the difference in the general “cost of living” applies. Plan C: switch to “seedlings”, which *are* in our price range, but will take a few years longer to grow large enough to provide the privacy we were hoping for.

Thank goodness our expectations are “flexible”. :)

I couldn’t live in a subdivision like that, did for years and now am willing to skip the fancy house and not have neighbors looking in my windows.
