I created this blog with a purpose. It is to serve as a way to force myself to “journal”, and also to serve as a place to document the process and lifestyle changes that my family is going through while we transition from life in the city to the life in the country that we want to have. The only stumbling block has been that I didn’t want to mention anything about the property we are currently trying to purchase because I did not want to jinx the whole thing. Not that there has been a shortage of things for me to ramble about, but you know…it has felt like I am keeping this dirty little secret. So without further ado, here is a picture of the property we are currently attempting to purchase:
So there it is. Our goal for this place is to make is self-sufficient. All of the things we do on it will generate revenue, will be beneficial to the planet, and support the family. This means a lot of things. I want to grow produce, and raise chickens. My mom wants goats. Doug wants to have deer and cattle, among other revenue generators. This has been quite a learning process for me…being a city girl and all.
As Doug, our neighbor, and I were sitting outside talking yesterday, I really got why I want this. My ultimate goal is to take the things about city living and incorporating into the country and vice versa. This means a lot of things…starting this blog is one of them.
