Week 1:

Down on the Farm 

So we bought a farm. A little over 10 acres in a little town that is close to Cincinnati, Ohio. Close to work and the city, but far enough to be at a slower intentional pace.

Will you join us in prayer over what we are asked to do with this property? We've been given a pretty clear direction so far, but we just don't want to miss the mark.

We girls bought it sight unseen. Most people would cringe at that thought. But when you've got a peace that passes all understanding, you just go with it.  I should preface that we did get a glimpse of our gem, via a face-time walk through courtesy of my husband and lovely realtor and the internet pictures. We all said this is property for us.

We all have boots now.

Top 5 things we've learned all in week one:

1. Old large windows are cool- literally- they leak cold air, allot. Don't worry we've sort of fixed the problem. Windows from the 1850's allow cooled air and hornets to come join in the house.

2. Hornets move reeaall slow ~ Texas style~ in the cold and therefore can be killed easier. We've killed like 3 a day in Bethany's and my room. We're trying to remedy this situation before it warms up.

3. If your bored don't use up precious monthly data, go outside. There is something always to do with on the property. (We've barely even hit the ground running & we feel like we are behind.) Girls are in love with the cat that came with the farm which they fondly named: DELILAH. She is super sweet and loves to be groomed and belly rubbed for a barn cat.

4.Everyday is a good day to wear jeans & boots of some kind. Save the fancy footwear and apparel for going out to the city. Our property is in need of a little TLC because of being overgrown a little, but we will restore it back to it's former glory.

5. Sheriff, our great dane 16 mo. old pup doesn't quite understand what off lead means on his somewhat fenced in and in need of fencing property.  We've had to chase him a couple of times thinking his training collar was charged, but it wasn't. Needless to say that we are walking him on lead until further fencing or training.
