We are moving back to the country.
In two months we'll be packing up for farm living outside of Hanska, MN, just 14 miles south of New Ulm. The past two weeks have been a blur of driving, researching, planning, strategizing, budgeting, and stressing. This is Peter and my third real estate purchase in our 9 years together, and I think we fretted the most about this one. Getting older makes you wiser and more of a worrier, I guess.
So, yeah.
This summer we'll be:
1. Moving to a new community
2. Starting a new job (Peter)
3. Planning a new farm business
4. Having a Baby
5. Living without any income for 3 months
This new place is just gorgeous, 10 acres on a lake! The house is 115 years old, but it's been updated (to a point). There is plenty of room for home improvement projects, but nothing major. I'm thinking a few coats of paint, a few less layers of wallpaper, and removal of (cat) hairy carpet will make everything just dandy.
As for the outdoors, I'm going to get organic certification started (there is a 3 year transition period), some perennials in the ground, and some chickens in the barn. But that's it. Well, a big garden for ourselves. But really, we'll have too much going on to do more. But it would be nice to put up a hoop house. Oh, lord.
