... journey toward a dream ...

Well, we'll have to wait even longer .....

to buy the land we want. The credit union that we use does not finance raw land ... it has to have a house on it. BUMMER!!! I am SO SO SO wanting to get out of suburbia as fast as I can while my children are still young. But it looks like we have to wait longer so, my husband is going to sell his Jeep and buy an older one with cash and then we'll just pay off my van and keep it instead of getting something newer. And we'll take the $$ and start saving it up.
I know that the Lord is in control and He provides all things. He has provided this lovely home that I pretend is my farmhouse and He is providing a fence in the next few weeks and an outbuilding which I will pretend is my barn (except I won't let my oldest daughter know that or she'll want a barn cat in there for sure!!!). As soon as the fence is done I will begin my garden. Yes, in July.
About the garden ... I have a square foot garden and I H A T E it! Not enough nutrition IMHO in those little plots of food. So I want a traditional row garden and I have been reading and reading and getting more and more confused ... seriously, though, I'm going to just go ahead and build it and plant my fall crops in it. I'm in the lower end of zone 7 so it should be fine (according to our extension service). And if it's not we can just count it as a learning experience and the garden will be that much better come spring next year.
Well, I'm off to pretend for another day ..........
Blessings!

I agree, keep experimenting, reading and learning all you can. There is a special place out there waiting, all in God's timing.
