So this is it our new house!  As you can tell it’s mostly kitchen.  This open plan is what really “rented” us on the place   There is lots of room for cooking, drawing, painting, working and doing “homework”,  all of it bright and cheerful.

As you can tell from the photo below the house has few even surfaces – just the way I like it.  It’s worn around the edges with the occasional pleasant creek indicative of anything over the age of 100.  The living room has plenty of open space for our various farm scenarios, pillow fights and shenanigans involving match box cars.

The bedroom is mostly bed, and it’s really too cozy for productivity.  It’s all I can do to pry myself from the covers in the morning.  I can’t remember the last time I slept so well.

It’s charming to move somewhere and have all your ideal pets already living there.  Cleo the cat is a fierce hunter and consummate lover.  Onyx the dog is a fabulous pile of warm black fur always lounging in the sun.  It’s reassuring to know she is asleep on the driveway whenever I need my dog fix.  Remi, Ace and Cherokee are all quite charming horses (and I am not a horse person).  Seth goes out to the horses every morning, because the first skill he has to master is learning how to make a connection with a horse.

This house is a gardener’s dream.  The back yard is nicely fenced off from the dear.  There is not a gopher in site (thanks to Cleo).  The manure is piled, aged and ready to be hauled up and turned in.  What more could one ask for?
