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.
