Country Life

We've been here three weeks now, we're not quite done moving out of the old house, but we've begun to settle into the new house. Some things I've learned are:

1. Fencing, no matter how easy it sounds, is much, much harder than it looks.
2. Dogs are wily creatures and will find every mistake you made in that fence that was supposed to be a piece of cake to put together. 
3. Mailboxes are closer than they appear.
4. Thank god mailboxes are only 10 bucks each, and I chose the metal one over the plastic one. It's going to save me a ton when I forget #3.
5. Tractors are fun, but expensive when they break.
6. EVERYTHING takes longer than it is supposed to. 

My living room is full of boxes, but we have internet. We're settling down. We have a goat on standby and it's so crazy peaceful outside that sometimes you just want to go sit out there and enjoy it. Something I never got into when we lived in the burbs.

We're heeeeeeeerrrrrreeee :)

You probably realize the lack of updates means we have moved :) At least partially. We still have quite a few things left at the old house, but the rain means we can't move our things so it will be a cleanup and unpacking day. Luckily we got the washing machine set up yesterday so I can continue to churn out clean clothes :) (which is a good thing since our old washer broke about 2 weeks before the move. We have tons of boxes just labeled by the color of clothes they contain. I am really surprised by the number of tv channels available on standard Tv. We've had cable for so long we haven't really paid attention to all the new digital channels. It is a pleasant surprise. Time to return to the laundry.. The updates will be short until I can get my computer set up, extended typing on an iPhone is challenging. :)
