Yep that's right!!!! We left our home of 12 years and moved to a small farm house in Henderson. We put our house on the market thinking it would take at least 6 months to sell and guess what, yep it sold in a little over 2 weeks. And the best part is the farm house needed complete renovation. Ha!!!! Vince has been working his regular job and renovating the farm house and getting the house ready to move all at the same time. Well over the last month we've managed to get it all somewhat in order. Thanks to Matt for painting and single handedly moving all of Vince's tools and assorted "random" things, many of which came in multiples. Jenny spent her time packing up the old house and cleaning as she went. Can't imagine how much dust she managed to wade through. And Irene cooked wonderful meals in makeshift conditions and cleaned and unpacked things at the farm house.
We still don't have a kitchen sink, a few of the old windows still have to be replaced, there's no bathroom sink and the walls are still in demolition phase, oh and the best in July we have no air conditioning. I did manage to talk Vince into a tiny and I mean tiny window unit because poor Rory was about to just faint from the heat.All the chickens made it to their new home in tip top shape. They had a nice cushy ride in an air conditioned van. Then they checked out their new accommodations and seem to approve. They aren't too crazy about the ducks so we're chasing the ducks back to the pond. They managed fine on their own for a year so I'm sure they'll be okay.
The goats are in goat heaven. All the fescue, orchard grass and timothy hay they can eat. And believe me they eat, ALL the time!!!! If Basil so much as spots a person she starts whining for more and doesn't stop till she gets it. The new boys are Luke and Jessie. The are the loviest. Jessie was a little skittish at first but he warmed up to neck and back rubs real quick. They are all healthy and so much fun to watch.Rory was quite exhausted after the move and with no air conditioning decided the only thing she wanted to do for awhile was nap on the sofa. I guess she's been through a lot so I'll let her be.
Well now it's time to try and find a place for all the "things" I didn't think I had. I try to weed through and keep things to a minimum but I don't think I did such a good job.
